Event Details

Join us for a morning of fellowship, inspiration, and action. Enjoy a light breakfast before participating in a scenic 5km walk/run along the Durham Waterfront, surrounded by a community united in hope.

Whether you walk, run, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence matters.

One day. One community. Many powerful steps toward recovery.

On May 30, you can help ensure that no one is turned away from addiction treatment at Renascent because of financial barriers.

This year’s Road to Recovery Walk/Run is Renascent’s 7th annual community fundraiser supporting accessible, life-saving addiction treatment. Every dollar raised directly supports Renascent Foundation, helping bridge the gap between government funding and the true cost of care.

When you walk, you do more than complete 5 kilometres.

  • You stand with people who are struggling with addiction and their families.
  • You challenge stigma.
  • You make recovery possible.
