We Fight Together Awareness Run
The We Fight Together Overdose and Drug Poisoning Awareness Walk/Run is a community event held at Wicker Park in Highland, Indiana. The event takes place at Pavilion A, located near the west entrance of the park. This gathering serves as a platform to raise awareness about drug poisoning and overdose while honoring those affected by the opioid epidemic.
Participants can choose to complete the course as a runner or a walker. The event features a standard route for all attendees:

The day includes a variety of activities beyond the run itself. Attendees can visit vendor booths, listen to music, and hear from guest speakers and members of the board of directors.
