A legacy of love. A future of hope.

Saturday, August 29th

1 Mile starts at 8:30am

5K Starts at 9:00am

Addiction has left its mark on our families and our communities, but it does not define the legacy of the people we love. Their story is not reduced to their struggle. It is marked by love, resilience, courage, and the impact they had on every life they touched.

Join us in sharing their stories at our 2026 Run for Hope!

Remembering those lost to Addiction

Run for Hope is coming up! This annual, family-friendly fundraiser to benefit our Finding Hope and Hope After Loss programs is always an incredible time, but it’s always worth reminding ourselves why we run.

ABOUT RUN FOR HOPE

We don’t run to escape the pain that addiction has caused in our world—instead, we run to embrace the good memories of our loved ones. When we run, we remember and honor the joy, the life, the goodness they brought to us. Their stories become vibrant once more.

Run for Hope will be here August  29th, 2026 with three in-person event locations: Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Weatherford, and Colorado (or you can run virtually anywhere in the world). In addition to the regular 5K or the one-mile walk/run, we’ll have food trucks, face painting, games, and tons of other fun, family-friendly stuff. And all of it benefits the life-changing work done by our Finding Hope and Hope After Loss support groups.

RESOURCES

FINDING HOPE

Just like addicts, loved-ones need: community, education and encouragement.

Through our meetings, you’ll find education, inspiration, and a community of other loved ones who’ve been impacted by addiction. Each week, you will have the opportunity to learn more about addiction, find tools to help those you love, and discover hope to help yourself as you journey down this road to recovery.

HOPE AFTER LOSS

Helping those who have lost a loved one to addiction.

Losing a loved one to addiction brings a range of emotions from shame to regret to agonizing sorrow. Hope After Loss helps people process their emotions to move forward on the journey of healing and restoration. By walking through grief together in the light of God’s Word, we can begin to find strength, purpose, peace, and HOPE in the midst of our circumstances.
