This race was inspired by James Anderson, whose journey of recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2023, James ran 100 miles straight over 30 hours, pushing his body and mind to the limit to raise $20,000 for our organization. His dedication and belief in the power of recovery continue to inspire others to take that next stepwhether its one mile or one hundred.
In 2024, we launched this race as a way to honor James efforts and create a lasting tradition that brings the community together in support of recovery.
