​

The 5K Family Recovery Run/Walk event is a run/walk in Mechanicsburg to raise awareness of substance use disorders and recovery for the whole family. Our mission is to help families impacted by a loved one’s active substance use and families who have had a substance-related loss. We aim to help, heal, and strengthen families in our communities by offering education, compassionate support, and creating a nurturing atmosphere for those dealing with a loved one’s substance use or experiencing a substance-related loss.

​​

The 5k Family Recovery Run/Walk will take place at Vibrant Church/Adventure Park (1775 Lambs Gap Rd, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050) on Saturday, September 20th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and we are operating under a 501c3.

 

Please arrive at 9:00 a.m. to receive your t-shirt and bib before the run/walk starts at 10:00 a.m. 

​

During this run/walk, we will be raising money for Sara’s House of Hope. The money raised from this event will go toward our mission to strengthen our community with education, support, and provide a nurturing atmosphere for those who are experiencing grief and loss. Come see our Family Recovery Center, which encompasses all things Family recovery, raising awareness and providing education on the epidemic our community is facing.

 

There will be different courses for Runners and Walkers, so come out and have some fun and support a great cause. We are also asking that if you would like to ask Family, Friends, Neighbors, and Coworkers to sponsor you as you walk or run, we would greatly appreciate the support. Simply collect the money and turn it in on Race/Walk day; there will be a prize for the person who collects the most money.
