ROCovery Annual Run/Walk & X-Challenge

The ROCovery Annual Run/Walk & X-Challenge is a September 5K and 10K held at Mendon Ponds Park. The race begins from the Stewart Lodge and Canfield Woods Shelter parking area near Henrietta, New York. Participants can run or walk the in-person event, or join virtually from any location during National Recovery Awareness Month. The event is centered on ROCovery Fitness, an organization focused on recovery that uses movement and community to aid individuals in rebuilding their lives. The day combines a race with a gathering for those involved in addiction recovery, including individuals in recovery, their friends and family, supporters, and those remembering a lost loved one. The event highlights hope in recovery and also provides a space for remembrance. A Strava club is available for participants to track training, routes, race-day results, and photos. Scholarship entries are offered for individuals in recovery needing assistance with the entry fee. All participants receive a custom bib and race shirt.
