CANDY CRUSH 5K Endurance & Strength SAGA (Big Texas Rally for Recovery)

FREE CANDY CRUSH 5K Endurance & Strength SAGA (Big Texas Rally for Recovery 2025) is more than just a fitness event - it's a celebration of recovery and resilience. Designed to symbolize the strength it takes to overcome obstacles in long-term recovery, this challenge combines running/walking with a series of endurance & strength tests, including gumdrop squats, soda pop burpees, twizzler hangs, lollipop lunges, rock candy tire flips & more! Every station represents the barriers people face on their recovery journey & the power of crushing them one-by-one.

Open to ALL fitness levels, this event is about progress, perseverance, & community, not competition. Whether participants run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, the Candy Crush 5K SAGA highlights that recovery is possible, powerful, & worth celebrating. Join us in lifting each other up, conquering challenges, & embracing the SWEET VICTORY OF RECOVERY!

If you would like to join us for the FREE Big Texas RALLY for Recovery before the Candy Crush Saga begins, it will be held from 4:00pm-7:00pm (Drug Emporium parking lot). There will be recovery guest speakers, giant-sized CandyLand game, food, vendors, resources, CANDY, & more!
