Run for Your Life registration is now open

Registration is now open for our 7th Annual Run for Your Life 5K Run & Recovery Walk! Join us for children's races, music, entertainment and other fun activities. Bring the whole family and show your support for individuals and families in recovery. Register by July 17th to get the early bird rate of $15. Click here to register or visit our website for more information.

Run for Your Life is held each September in commemoration of National Recovery Month. This year's theme, "Join the Voices for Recovery: It's Worth It," emphasizes that while the road to recovery may be difficult, the benefits of preventing and overcoming mental and/or substance use disorders are significant and valuable to individuals, families, and communities. People in recovery achieve healthy lifestyles, both physically and emotionally, and contribute in positive ways to their communities. They also prove to family members, friends, and others that prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover.

Become an "Odyssey House Champion"

This year, we are holding a fundraising competition. The top fundraiser for July, August and September will be named an "Odyssey House Champion."

Champions will be recognized on our website and at the event and receive a prize, complimentary registration, and entry to a VIP breakfast on race day.

Get started by creating a FREE fundraising page at FirstGiving.com.

Proceeds from Run for Your Life support our programs that provide a safe, supportive residential community with an emphasis on beginning drug-free lives, family reunification, and educational and vocational training.
