Path to Prevention
Path to Prevention is a community road race held in Riverdale, Utah. The event includes two distance categories and supports local substance misuse prevention efforts. All proceeds are directed to coalition work to prevent underage drinking and other drug misuse.
The event lists these distances:
- 13.1 Mi (Half Marathon)
- 3.1 Mi (5K)
The race location is given as 4600 Weber River Drive, Riverdale, UT. Organizers and community partners include substance abuse prevention groups and several city sponsors. Past participant feedback describes on-course volunteers and aid stations, chip timing, a clear finish area, and informational materials provided in participant swag bags. Reviews also note a mix of surfaces on the course, including road, trail, and asphalt. The event has received multiple participant reviews and ratings.
The race webpage shares local prevention data: eleven people die from a prescription overdose each week in Utah; 50% of Utah youth who reported drinking in the past 30 days also reported binge drinking in the past two weeks; and 12.3% of students in grades 8, 10, and 12 report vaping. These statistics frame the event’s focus on education and prevention. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
