URGENT MESSAGE
RUN FOR RECOVERY POSTPONED

Dear Run For Recovery Participants,

It is with great sadness that we announce the postponement of today’s Run For Recovery 5K Run and 2K Walk due to the unhealthy air conditions in our area.

We know how much everyone has been looking forward to this event, and we are deeply disappointed that we cannot proceed as planned. However, the health and safety of our runners, walkers, volunteers, spectators, and community must always be our number one priority.

We will be meeting with local officials today and again on Monday to determine the best possible reschedule date. We expect to announce the new event date early next week.

We sincerely ask for your patience and understanding as we work through this unexpected situation. Please watch your email and our event website for additional information.

Thank you for your support of the Run For Recovery and the Union Rescue Mission. We truly appreciate each and every one of you and look forward to gathering together on a safer day.

With sincere gratitude,

The Run For Recovery Event Team
