This race was inspired by the incredible James Anderson, whose story of recovery continues to motivate our community. In 2023, James ran 100 miles in 30 hours to raise $20,000 for our organization. His belief in recovery and in the power of taking that next step, is what sparked this tradition.
In 2024, we launched our first official race in his honor, and the response blew us away. For 2025, we’re leveling up with some exciting improvements:
Freshly paved driveway at the start/finish line
Updated and more accurate race course
Better event flow, new amenities, and fun surprises
Whether you’re in it for the 7K, walking the 1 Mile Family Fun Walk, or coming to cheer on a friend, this event is more than a race, it’s a celebration of hope, healing, and second chances.
Together, we run for recovery. Together, we believe.
