18th Annual Race for Recovery 5K Run & Fun Walk

Event Overview

We’re so glad you’re here, and thank you for your interest in being part of something truly meaningful.

Join us for our 18th Annual Race for Recovery, which is presented by The Piperno Family, on Sunday, September 20th at Cooper River Park—an inspiring day dedicated to hope, healing, and second chances.

Purpose of the Event

This event raises critical funds for the Peter P. Black IV Scholarship Fund. The fund helps individuals who are ready for treatment but lack the financial resources to get the help they need.

Founded by Kathleen “Kate” Holt in loving memory of her son Peter, who passed away in 2004 from a substance use disorder. For 77 years, Maryville has been a trusted leader in holistic, evidence-based treatment for substance use and mental health disorders—and your support helps us continue that mission.
