Guiding Light, a Grand Rapids-based nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals find lasting recovery from addiction, is inviting the community to lace up to support the work they do all year long.
The organization’s annual 5K Run/Walk returns to Millennium Park on Saturday, October 11, at 9 a.m., celebrating physical transformation, resilience, and the power of community during National Recovery Month.
All race proceeds go directly to support Guiding Light recovery programming, including fitness programs. The fitness programming supported by the race funds includes:
- YMCA group memberships
- Weekly CrossFit classes and Tabata workouts
- Yoga and mindfulness sessions
- Subsidized gym memberships for sober-living residents
- Participation in other community races
- Outdoor activities like paddleboarding, pickleball, and cycling
