We are very excited to offer the in-person Rage Against Addiction Memory Walk/Recovery Run again this year!

We will gather on Saturday, April 12th at Cedar Lane Regional Park for this family-friendly event.  We will have various resources/speakers come out to share their knowledge and support services.

All registrants will receive a race number.  Please wear this number on the outer-most layer at the front of your torso. 
The 5K event will be chip-timed while the 1 Mile event is untimed.  Look for your 5K results after the event on the results tab of this page.

During the event, the park will remain open to the public and park rules apply.  This includes keeping the park clean by utilizing trash receptacles and all dogs must be leashed and cleaned up after.  Strollers are welcome, we ask that they line up towards the back of the start corral.  This is a two-loop course, so please stay to the right and allow for passing on the left.

Because Rage relies on the generosity of our community, we are kindly asking if you would consider bringing an item to the Memory Walk / Recovery Run that would support our Daughter's House program. This program aims to sustain and enhance recovery, and empower women. We will be collecting these items at our RunKit Pick Up on April 10th from 5pm to 7pm and on the day of the event.

We are in need of new and unopened:

• General hygiene products such as deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, feminine hygiene items, toilet paper, and new and unopened wash cloths and bath towels
• Cleaning products such as paper towels, sanitizing spray/wipes, Comet, Windex, trash bags (13 gallon and 30 gallon), sponges
• Non-perishable food
• New and unopened twin sheet sets with pillowcases

We thank you in advance for your contribution to a worthwhile cause.

Rage Against Addiction

Rage Against Addiction believes in Community, Sponsorship, and Teamwork. This organization has been built by those affected by addiction for those affected by addiction. So many people do not understand its impact until their loved one suffers. We are a no-judgment zone because we know that no family is immune to this powerful disease. We know we can’t go at it alone! We serve locally but think globally.

Mission Statement:  Rage Against Addiction provides awareness and support to anyone affected by the disease of addiction, including the family.

Each house is tailored to meet each individual’s needs.
  
  
• HALO (How to Live Without Our Addicted Loved One): An online grief support group specifically for those who lost loved ones to substance abuse.  
  
  
• RAA ABC (After Baby Care): Provides post-partum care packages for new mothers in early recovery.  
  
  
• Sober Living Funding: provides financial support to qualified applicants in Maryland. Qualifications include but are not limited to verification and an interview. Availability is limited.
