Strides in Recovery Virtual Run with the Men of Beacon House

A 5K (3.1 miles) is the perfect distance to begin your fitness journey, whether you are in recovery or have been sober your entire life.

Since this is a virtual event, you get to pick the start and the finish. You can choose a destination that is 1.55 miles away, and walk there and back. Or, you can go to spot that's 3.1 miles away and get a ride back. At a leisurely pace with a few breaks, you can do this in less than 90 minutes.

Still not sure if you want to give it a try? We'll tell you the same thing we tell all of our new Strides in Recovery team members as they start their walk/run. "I promise you'll feel better in an hour than you do right now." Go ahead and see for yourself. You can do this!

This is the event for the beginner who wants to dream big. Every big goal is accomplished by achieving a series of small goals. Split up the 13.1 miles how ever you want during a 2 week period.

If you can walk a mile a day for 13 days and 0.1 mile on the 14th day, you can do a half marathon! Or, you can go several miles at a time. So what if you take breaks that last overnight or a few nights. You still finished and you still get the half marathon finisher medal.

After you complete your registration, you'll be able to upload your results and track your progress day by day.

Enjoy the challenge of running 13.1 miles. We've included the course map for those who'd like to do the same route as the men of Beacon House any time during the 2 week window. You can also do your own route and run at the same time as the men. Either way, you'll be with them in spirit in the same place or at the same time. Or, feel free to choose your own route at your own time. This is a virtual event, so you're in charge.This is the event for the beginner who wants to dream big.
