Join us at our 9th annual Second Chance 5K
Let's connect with different people and communities impacted by substance use disorders and celebrate second chances for those in recovery.
This event is for everyone! Together we can provide support, resources, and hope to families and individuals impacted by addiction. We can walk (or run) side by side, leaving shame behind as we move towards healing. All proceeds benefit local Las Vegas recovery efforts.
Answers to frequently asked questions about the event
All ages and fitness levels are welcome! You can walk, jog, run, bike, roller blade, push a stroller, or hang out by the vendor tables and food trucks.
There is no official timer. No race bibs. No competition. Feel free to time yourself, but the focus of this event is community and connection. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to cross the finish line. There will be people cheering you on the whole way!
The 5K route is 3.1 miles around the beautiful Vistas Loop in Summerlin. We start at Givens Elementary School, move up around North Tower Park then down towards South Tower Park before finishing back at Givens. Feel free to bring your dogs on leashes.
Plan to stop by the 25+ resource tables offering education and support, and come hungry to enjoy the food trucks. There will be a DJ and free face painting/ balloon animals to enjoy as well.

Memorial Walk
A portion of our 5K is dedicated to siblings, friends, children, parents, and grandparents that our Second Chance community has lost because of substance use. It is a beautiful tribute to lives that were lived and ended too soon.
If you have submitted an individual for a previous memorial walk, we will plan to display their same memorial sign unless you tell us otherwise.
The deadline for new submissions for our 2024 event has passed. We would love to honor your loved ones at our next event.
Recovery Walk
We believe in second chances and are excited to celebrate recovery in a new way this year! If you will be attending the 5K and would like to share your "before and after" pictures with us, we would love to showcase that piece of your story on the route. Your pictures may inspire other participants to bravely chose recovery and believe that recovery is possible.
Our deadline for submissions for the recovery walk portion of the 5K has passed. We hope to feature your photos next year!
