Irish Day Run sponsored by Joshua 1:9 Run for Recovery

Please join us in our 4th Annual Joshua 1:9 Run for Recovery 5k event on March 21st, 2026!

Who Are We: Joshua 1:9 Run for Recovery's vision is to overcome addiction by providing funding for individuals seeking treatment in Tennessee. 

Our Why:  Our Annual 5K is dedicated to the memory of Joshua Aaron Mitchell. Josh was a Son, Brother and Friend to many and was always looking for ways to help and love others around him. When Josh came out of rehab, his first and only priority was to help his friends who were still battling the disease of addiction. His goal was to help his friends seek treatment and find recovery just as he had. We want to honor Josh and continue what he started by assisting individuals in our community with the ability to afford and access rehabilitation resources. 

What: The Registration Fee will be $35.00 to sign up for the 5K and that includes a T-Shirt (all ages). For those not wanting to participate but want to support our community the T-Shirt Only option is $20.00. All of the donations we receive will go back into our community, funding individuals seeking treatment. The only way to guarantee a T-Shirt with your size is to register BEFORE MARCH 1st! 

Where: The 5k will start at Houston County High School (2500 Highway 149, Erin, TN 37061) at 8:00 a.m. and end at Traditions First Bank (5745 E Main St, Erin, TN 37061) Parking will be at the High School and the race will start near the tennis courts. Concluding the race, we will provide a shuttle that will bring runners back to their vehicles at the High School.

Awards: We will host an Award ceremony following the race. If you are unable to stay for the awards the winners will also be announced on the Joshua 1:9 Run for Recovery Facebook Page by 6:00 pm on March 15th!
