Marisa's Purpose Annual Race 2 Recovery

Every year we host a 5K run or 11.5 mile bike to support our efforts. The proceeds help us to continue to support underserved communities with resources, speakers and educational information to help reduce the stigma of addictions in our communities. Your participation will help us to continue to help families learn techniques and warning signs to help prevent our children and adults from going down the wrong path.

Awards will be presented for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place for males and females of each race, and one overall winner for each race.
