ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) – The Christian Mission’s New Life Recovery Program and BBS Fitness Exercising Faith are teaming up to host the “Run With Purpose” 5K on Saturday, June 28, at Bates Memorial Stadium in Enterprise.
The run/walk event kicks off at 7:00 a.m. and invites the public to lace up for a cause that goes beyond fitness. Organizers say the goal is to shine a light on addiction and the growing number of overdose deaths in the Wiregrass region.
“This isn’t just about raising money—it’s about raising awareness,” organizers shared. “Addiction is a tough topic, but it’s one we have to face together as a community.”
Registration is open through June 27, with a $30 entry fee. Participants who register by June 13 will receive an official race t-shirt. Proceeds will support the New Life Recovery Program, and top male and female walkers and runners will win medals and a free pair of shoes from Weevil Run.
The route will also feature a powerful tribute: memorial signs honoring lives lost to addiction, along with signs highlighting opioid-related statistics in the area.
Vendors offering recovery-related resources are encouraged to reserve a booth to share information with attendees.
For details or to register, visit christmissions.org. The event will be held at 500 E. Watts Street in Enterprise.
