Overdose Awareness 5K Run/Walk
Phoenix House California organizes the Overdose Awareness 5K Run/Walk as a community event in September 2026 to draw attention to the impact of the opioid crisis and to support recovery efforts. The event is described as a run or walk that honors lives lost, provides community members and families with life-saving resources, and recognizes recovery and resilience.
The event location is listed as Dockweiler Beach in Playa Del Rey, California (LOT #3, 7697 S Marine Ave, Playa Del Rey, CA 90293). The main distance offered is 3.1 miles (a 5K). There are two registration options: a general entry and a sponsor registration for alumni and clients. General registration has a fee of $30 and a registration window in July 2026. Sponsor registration has a fee of $35 and is described as an option to cover registration fees for Phoenix House California alumni, clients, and community members; it also has a registration window in July 2026.
The event statement notes the severity of the local crisis, including that in Los Angeles County fentanyl was involved in 94% of opioid overdose deaths in 2023. The listed aims are to remember those lost, offer resources to families and community members, and mark recovery efforts without assigning a competitive focus.
