Come and run with Team Runners4Recovery at the “People’s Marathon” on October 27th, 2024.  Together we will collaborate, train, and raise funds to help people suffering from substance abuse disorders throughout the greater Northeastern Florida region.

According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, nearly 1-in-10 people over the age of 12 had an alcohol use disorder last year.  Not to mention, nearly 16-in-100 people over the age of 12 battled a substance use disorder in the past year.  

Local recovery facilities need more money to fight against this socially marginalized issue.   Nearly 20% of people with a substance use disorder also have an alcohol use disorder.
These disorders tear apart the lives of those infected as well as their loved ones.  

Not only does Runners4Recovery hold events and programs throughout the year, we also encourage others to help raise funds by participating as a charity in sponsored events, such as this one.  Once you create a fundraiser and raise the $200.00 minimum, you have a guaranteed entry into the Marine Corps Marathon!  You will be charged separately for the Marine Corps Marathon registration, which is $300.00 once you meet your fundraising goal.

Even if this is your first time, we are here to help!
We have fundraising tips to help you get started.
We have training guides to help prepare you for your marathon.
As a thank you, we will give you a standard swag bag to pair with your hard-earned MCM medal.

How big of a cause is this?

The National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics states:
141,557 Americans die from the effects of alcohol in an average year.  Nearly 110,000 people died from drug-involved overdoses in 2021.  

As a small nonprofit, we have given back over $20,000.00 to our community throughout the last six years.  Please help Runners4Recovery grow, because together we do recover!

We can’t wait to run with you at the Marine Corps Marathon!
