In correlation with September’s National Recovery Month, Addict II Athlete puts on an annual community recovery run 5k. National Recovery Month is there to increase awareness and understanding of mental illness and addictions, as well as celebrate people in recovery from these conditions.REGISTER https://www.raceentry.com/races/addictiiathlete-5k/2022/register
Our race will happen in Spanish Fork, Utah on Labor Day as well as a Virtual option!! We want to bring everyone together from across the world. Our hope is that we can bring thousands together running toward the same goal.
Our annual race is our largest fundraiser of the year. Join us as we Erase the Stigma of addiction and Replace it with Hope, Recovery, and Support! This community 5K will serve as a proxy runner event. A proxy runner is a loved one who uses their legs in honor of a loved one who has lost the battle to addiction and or mental illness, as a sign of love for a family member or loved one who is still battling or in celebration of someone in recovery. We hope to impress on your heart the real fight so many people in recovery face. From family support to those who have lost a friend or family member to addiction or mental health struggles. We invite you to Run/Walk as a proxy for those who can’t. Let’s combat the negative stigma in society by coming together and sharing openly.
Get your family and friends together and create a fundraising team in your name or your loved ones' name! https://www.raceentry.com/races/addictiiathlete-5k/2022/fundraising/charity/charity/addict-ii-athlete-6433
You can also email a picture with name and dates for us to share on a sign in our memory grove section of the race course. Make sure to email the picture before August 20th so we can make sure to have them in time for the race. [email protected]
For only $10 individuals can register to run. With your registration, you will be sent a proxy runner’s bib where you can add the name of someone you would like to run for. You will also receive 3 wristbands that represent someone who may be struggling (red) with these issues, who has passed away (black), or is in recovery (white). You will also be able to add a shirt and additional wristbands if desired. The virtual option will be $15 to help cover the cost of shipping.
We express as a team our deepest condolences to those who have received the call, felt the void, or miss that family member and friend because of addiction or mental health. Team Addict II Athlete stands behind you, as your support system and your team to help you turn the mess of addiction, mental illness and loss into a message of hope and healing. To assist us as we erase negative behaviors and replace them with family, love, support, and awareness in this service-oriented activity.
As head coach of team Addict II Athlete, I invite you to participate and run proxy for a special individual and to invoke hope for those who are on the pathway to healing. Register TODAY!
