A Running Start is a nonprofit recovery running program in partnership with The Hope Center that uses movement, accountability, and community support to help individuals rebuilding their lives through substance misuse recovery. Through a Beginner's 5K style program, participants train alongside volunteers while learning discipline, confidence, and healthy coping skills. Proceeds from this 5K will directly support the program by providing running shoes, race registrations, hydration supplies, and encouragement from volunteer runners who help participants cross both finish lines and life milestones.
SPONSOSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE - Contact Kara Ball at kball@hopectr.org if you or your company would be interested in supporting our race and program through a race sponsorship.
