Run for Your Life 5K
Color Fun Run
Bring your family and friends (including the furry ones) to a fun run/walk for a cause at our 7th Annual Run For Your Life 5K Color Run! You can help us spread awareness about substance misuse in Alachua County and fundraise for our mission to provide prevention services to youth and adults in our community.
The event will open with breakfast for participants, a fitness instructor warm-up session, and a Narcan demonstration. There will also be a community fair with plenty of resources from local organizations. There are six powder stations on the track, so be ready! At the end of the 5K, we will announce the raffle ticket winners and hand out medals. To conclude, we'll have an Instagram-worthy group photo!
Register now to save with Early Bird prices until August 31st.
Groups of 4 or more also receive a 10% discount when they register together.

As always, this event will include some awesome raffle prizes. In the past, this included Sonic, 4 Rivers Smokehouse, Cheesecake Factory, Texas Roadhouse and more!
Do you have any old or unused medications sitting at home? Bring them with you to the 5K Color Run! HPW will collect and dispose of medications safely through Rx Destroyer at the event for free. All medications except for sharps (needles) and inhalers are gladly accepted!
All proceeds from this event will help support the Alachua County Health Promotion and Wellness (HPW) Coalition, a non-profit organization that strives to prevent youth substance use and provide various health education services to Alachua County residents. For more information about the HPW Coalition go to their website at www.hpwcoalition.org or visit their Facebook and Instagram. Please consider donating to the HPW Coalition so we can continue to serve our community and youth!
