About the Event

The Shelby County Recovery Court Foundation invites you to participate in its 12th annual Race for Recovery 5K, taking place on September 26, 2026, within the scenic boundaries of Overton Park. This year's event continues a legacy that has spanned over two decades, dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by substance abuse issues.
The race offers participants an opportunity to run or walk through the lush trails and vibrant green spaces of Overton Park while contributing directly to services for Drug Court participants. The funds raised will be used to provide essential support that helps these individuals become productive members of Shelby County's community once again.
After crossing the finish line, join fellow runners, friends, and supporters at a celebration in the park where you can enjoy refreshments and connect with others who share your commitment to recovery. Medals and awards will be presented amidst an atmosphere filled with high fives and heartfelt recognition for all those involved in this important cause.
The event honors not only current participants but also remembers loved ones lost to addiction, reinforcing a sense of community and shared purpose among attendees. By participating or supporting the Race for Recovery 5K, you contribute to rebuilding lives and fostering a stronger, more resilient Shelby County.
Join us on September 26 in Overton Park as we come together to celebrate life's victories and continue our collective journey towards recovery.
