On Saturday, September 27, Odyssey House hosted the 20th Annual Run for Your Life 5K Run & Recovery Walk—a milestone event celebrating two decades of resilience, recovery, and community.
Under clear skies and bright fall sunshine, runners, walkers, alumni, clients, and families came together to show that recovery is stronger when shared. The event featured carnival-style games, kids’ activities, music, and powerful moments of connection that reminded everyone why Run for Your Life has become such a cornerstone of the Odyssey House community.
As PIX11 News shared in their coverage, this year’s race marked not just a milestone in miles, but in meaning—an enduring reminder that the road to recovery is one best traveled together.
“I’ve run in many races, but I’ve never felt more at home than I did today,” said one participant. “This community lifts you up every step of the way.”
We extend our deepest gratitude to our event sponsors for their generous support and to the partner treatment programs who joined us on the course. Your collaboration and shared commitment to recovery help strengthen the entire New York City treatment community—and make events like Run for Your Life possible.
