5th Annual Awaken Recovery Run 2027

The Awaken Recovery Run is an annual community run and walk on the Black Creek Park trail in Fultondale, Alabama, starting from 777 Yarbrough Road. It offers a 5K, 10K, and 1-mile fun run, plus a 0K support option for those who want to back the cause without running. The 5K is a morning race, and the event is designed for a wide range of participants, from walkers and first-timers to runners using it as a tune-up or a chance to race hard. The course uses the park trail rather than city streets, giving the race a local, low-key feel. The event supports Awaken, a Birmingham-based nonprofit that helps people affected by addiction and relational trauma. Awaken runs support groups, recovery retreats, and church-assistance programs; race participation helps fund and expand those services.
