New York Adult & Teen Challenge 5K - Run / Walk For Recovery

Lace up for a cause that truly transforms lives at the New York Adult & Teen Challenge 5K - Run / Walk For Recovery, returning for its 3rd annual event on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This inspiring 5K run/walk takes place at Roberts Wesleyan University in Rochester, NY, offering participants a chance to make a tangible difference. Typical race day conditions in early June in Rochester feature pleasant highs around 76°F and comfortable lows near 56°F, with a relatively low 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable event.

More than just a race, this event is a powerful demonstration of support for New York Adult & Teen Challenge, a Christian residential discipleship program dedicated to helping individuals break free from life-controlling issues, including addiction, anxiety, and depression. Every dollar raised directly supports and sponsors individuals seeking hope and restoration through their program, which boasts an impressive 78% success rate in helping graduates achieve long-term sobriety. The 5K course provides a traditional and accessible experience on the university campus, welcoming both seasoned runners and casual walkers.

Beyond the personal achievement of completing a 5K, participants have the unique opportunity to engage in peer-to-peer fundraising, with exciting prizes awarded based on fundraising achievements. Join a supportive community dedicated to bringing freedom, healing, and transformation to those in need, one step at a time, at this meaningful Rochester event.
