Bring your family and friends (including the furry ones) to a fun run/walk for a cause at our 7th Annual Run For Your Life 5K Color Run! You can help us spread awareness about substance misuse in Alachua County and fundraise for our mission to provide prevention services to youth and adults in our community.
The event will open with breakfast for participants, a fitness instructor warm-up session, and a Narcan demonstration. There will also be a community fair with plenty of resources from local organizations. There are six powder stations on the track, so be ready! At the end of the 5K, we will announce the raffle ticket winners and hand out medals. To conclude, we'll have an Instagram-worthy group photo!
Register now to save with Early Bird prices until August 31st.
Groups of 4 or more also receive a 10% discount when they register together.
