This race was inspired by James Anderson, whose journey of recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2023, James ran 100 miles straight over 30 hours, pushing his body and mind to the limit to raise $20,000 for our organization. His dedication and belief in the power of recovery continue to inspire others to take that next step whether it’s one mile or one hundred.
In 2024, we launched this race as a way to honor James’ efforts and create a lasting tradition that brings the community together in support of recovery. Our inaugural event was a huge success, but we also learned a lot and we’re making exciting improvements for 2025! This year, participants can look forward to:
✅ A newly paved driveway at the start/finish line for a smoother race experience
✅ An updated and more accurate race map to ensure precise course measurements
✅ An even better event experience with improved logistics, amenities, and more surprises!
🏅 Whether you’re running the 7K, walking the 1-mile course, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation helps change lives.
Register today and be part of something bigger than a race be part of a movement.
Together, we run for recovery. Together, we believe.
