Thousands will gather on September 25th for the 3rd Annual New York Recovery Rally and Odyssey House Run for Your Life 5K Fun Run on Randall's Island to celebrate recovery.
Fun, family activities begin in Icahn Stadium at 8 am, leading to the day's kick-off event at 10 am: the Odyssey House 5th Annual Run for Your Life 5K. The Odyssey House event will be followed by a Recovery Celebration Walk along the scenic Harlem River with a view of the Manhattan skyline, where thousands will walk side by side, as one strong and courageous voice for recovery.
The Recovery Celebration Walk will lead into the Harlem River Event Site for a jam-packed lineup of inspirational speakers, entertainment and activities, surrounded by vendor booths. Join us as we celebrate individuals and families in recovery; honor organizations providing prevention, treatment and recovery services; and offer a beacon of hope and support for those still in need of hope and help.
