Beyond Stigma 5K Run and Walk
The Beyond Stigma 5K Run and Walk is an athletic event held in Madison, Connecticut, organized by the nonprofit For Cameron, Inc. This gathering serves to raise awareness and address issues related to substance use, addiction, and the fentanyl crisis. The initiative focuses on reducing social stigma and supporting public health efforts through community engagement.
The event occurs at 1288 Boston Post Road and offers two distinct distances:
- 3.1 Miles (5K Run and Walk)
- 0.5 Miles (Kids Run)
Participants of all ages are permitted to walk, jog, or run the course at their own pace. The 5K event is strictly alcohol-free to provide a supportive environment for those in recovery. Individuals who complete their registration by the specified early deadline receive an official event t-shirt.
The Kids Run is offered with no registration fee, while the 3.1 Miles event requires a paid registration. The organizers emphasize a message of advocacy and hope, welcoming participants at various fitness levels to join the movement against addiction stigma.
