ROCovery Annual Run/Walk & X-Challenge

Event Overview

September is National Recovery Awareness Month.

ROCovery Annual Run/Walk and X-Challenge is a celebration of fitness and recovery, and an important fundraiser for this life-saving organization—and again this year, it is both in-person and virtual so you can run and enter your results from anywhere in the world all month long! Run, walk, or just join our virtual community for the fun updates, posts, and pictures!
