18th Annual Race for Recovery 5K Run & Fun Walk

The 18th Annual Race for Recovery is a community running and walking event held on September 20, 2026 in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey. The event offers a timed 5K and a fun walk, plus a children’s dash for ages 10 and under. Registration opens July 9, 2026 and closes September 19, 2026. Entry for runners and walkers is listed at $25; children under 10 enter free.

Proceeds support a scholarship fund that helps people who are ready for treatment but lack financial resources. Maryville is noted as an organization providing holistic, evidence-based treatment for substance use and mental health disorders for 77 years.

On-site activities and amenities include a DJ, race shirts made of moisture-wicking fabric, water ice, a photo booth, refreshments, yoga, a Zumba session, face painting, and awards. The 5K is a timed race; awards will be given to the top two male and top two female finishers in different age categories.

Multiple sponsorship levels are available, ranging from high-level packages that include multiple race entries and prominent logo placement to smaller community sponsorships that offer a resource table. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
