Join Us for the 3rd Annual James Anderson Built on Belief 7K & 1-Mile Walk for Recovery! This event is dedicated to celebrating resilience, recovery, and community.
The 1 Mile Walk is an untimed event.
Virtual Option: Participate remotely and log your results from October 19-31. Items can be picked up on event weekend or shipped for an additional $10. Virtual participants are not included in awards.
This race was inspired by James Anderson's remarkable recovery journey. In 2023, he ran 100 miles to raise $20,000 for the organization. This event honors his efforts and fosters community support for recovery.
Improvements for 2026: A newly paved start/finish line, an updated race map, and improved logistics and amenities.
Participation in the 7K run, 1-mile walk, or cheering from the sidelines helps change lives. Register today to be part of a movement for recovery.
