Odyssey House's RUN FOR YOUR LIFE program is the cornerstone of our continuously expanding health and fitness offerings because our clients' personal experiences affirm the research—becoming healthy, staying active, and eating well all contribute to a more successful recovery—and a richer, fuller life. Creating a new identity, one that no longer includes substance use and the people and places associated with past usage, is demanding and emotional work. An outlet like running with a team of like-minded friends with shared goals helps our clients envision a hopeful, self-determined future—a future that inspires our Run For Your Life team to #justkeeprunning. Please join us in celebrating recovery this September 28th, 2024, at our annual #runforyourlife #5k!
