Get ready to lace up your running shoes and embrace the vibrant spirit of Dia De Los Muertos!
The Shelby County Drug Court Foundation is hosting its 10th annual Race for Recovery 5K, and this year, we’re honoring those we've lost with a Dia De Los Muertos-themed event in the historic Overton Park.
After crossing the finish line, join us for a special remembrance ceremony with medals, awards, and a community altar where you can honor your loved ones. Together, we'll celebrate life, remember those who have passed, and continue the fight for recovery.
For over two decades, Drug Court has been making real change, helping individuals and families affected by alcohol and drug issues. Their work doesn’t just reduce drug use and crime—it rebuilds lives and strengthens our community.
All proceeds from the Race for Recovery 5K will directly fund services for Drug Court participants, helping them become contributing members of Shelby County.
Join us to run, walk, or celebrate life in Overton Park on October 27th. Together, let’s make strides for recovery and remember those we’ve lost along the way.
