Strides in Recovery Beach Fun Run

Join us in supporting sobriety one stride at a time. Enjoy a four mile one-way run/walk, mostly along the beach bike path, from Valley Park in Hermosa Beach to an AA meeting (starting at 10am) in the sand in Redondo Beach. No medals. No chip timing. No swag. And no fees! 

This free community-building event is hosted by Strides in Recovery. We are a local nonprofit which helps newly sober individuals grow physically, emotionally and mentally stronger so they can do their best at the hard work of recovery. We achieve these results by coaching people in Los Angeles County addiction treatment programs to complete events ranging from 5Ks to full marathons.

We are looking for several volunteers to help the Fun Run go smoothly. We have roles that you can do whether you want to participate in the run/walk or not. Please check out what roles are available and sign up to lend a helping hand if you can!

Strides in Recovery maintains a "healthy habits" policy at all of our events. Please show respect for your body and your recovery by refraining from smoking or vaping while participating in the Fun Run. 

Did you know? Smokers who quit in early recovery are more likely to stay sober than those who don't. Check out this study.

Thank you.

Many of the participants in our program do not have running shoes.  If you have any gently used (no holes) running shoes you'd like to donate, we will happily accept them. 

Please tie the shoes together, label them with the size, and leave the soles and laces in.

Thank you!
