Recovery Challenge: Run for Hope
The Summit County ADM Support Committee hosts an annual 5k Run and 1 Mile Family Fun Walk. The 5k course integrates fun and challenging obstacles for participants of all ages.
The community is invited to attend and to learn more about resources available by the ADM Board’s System of Care and our partners and friends throughout the community.
This event acts as a fundraiser for the Summit County ADM Support Committee, which benefits the County of Summit ADM Board’s levy campaign activities.
The 2024 11th Annual Recovery Challenge will be held on Saturday, June 8 on the ground of IBH Addiction Recovery’s main campus (3445 S. Main Street; Akron, OH). The race starts at 9 am, and the event is open until 12. To register as a participant or as a volunteer, click here.
