About the 2026 Run Towards Recovery 5K
This race carries a dual purpose. It honors those lost in the attacks and the first responders who answered that day, while also standing alongside people in addiction recovery. The course is in Chandler, and the morning draws people who are there to remember and to mark something real, not just to run a distance. A portion of proceeds goes to two local recovery houses.
