About this race
Race Overview
Join us for our 11th Annual Run 4 Recovery!
For more than a decade, Run 4 Recovery has brought people together in support of hope, healing, and recovery. This year, we’re continuing the momentum with both our 5K and 10K race options, giving participants of all experience levels a chance to be part of something meaningful.
Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, Run 4 Recovery is about coming together as a community to support recovery and remind people they are not alone. Every step taken helps support the mission of Recovery Alive at Temple City Church and its commitment to bringing hope and restoration to those who need it most.
Lace up, show up, and help us continue running toward recovery, one mile, one story, one life at a time.
