In its third year, the "Run For Hope" is an emotional yet uplifting tribute to those who have lost their lives to addiction. Organized by Finding Hope and Hope After Loss Support Groups, this annual event draws over 800 members from across the United States for a day of remembrance, support, and community. The event offers a one-mile Memorial Walk/Run designed specifically for families with children, making it an inclusive experience for all ages. Alongside the walk/run, there will be inflatables, food trucks, and other family-friendly activities to keep everyone entertained throughout the morning. Registration opens at 7:45 AM on race day, followed by a touching Memorial Mile starting promptly at 8:30 AM. Participants can gather with friends and loved ones for announcements and a group photo before the main event kicks off at 9:00 AM sharp. Packet pickup is available earlier in the week from August 28th to August 28th, between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm. Attendees are encouraged to come early on race day as well for merchandise, DJ music, and a chance to meet fellow participants before the event begins. All proceeds from this year’s “Run For Hope” will go directly towards supporting Finding Hope and Hope After Loss Support Groups, ensuring that more families can find healing and hope in their journey through addiction recovery or loss. Don’t miss out on an incredible day of community support and celebration!
