This 5K challenge offers fun competition for athletes of all ages and abilities. The course challenges (winding through trees, stepping through tires, hills, and more) represent the challenges of those in recovery. Everyone receives a medal. Early registrants also receive a custom 5K race shirt.
1 Mile Family Fun Walk:
The Family Fun Walk is a great way to get the entire family involved! Each paid participant will receive a custom t-shirt. Kids under 5 yrs. old are $5, if no shirt option they are free and will get something fun (because 5 year-olds don't get excited about shirts)!
Virtual 5K or 1 Mile:
Can't attend our event? We offer a virtual option so you can participant any where. Items for the virtual option will be shipped after the event by June 16 and should be received by June 20. Virtual times can be posted from June 7-30!
No shirt option is available for a discount of $5 off registration for either event!
