Trail To Recovery 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk

Lace up your shoes for the Trail To Recovery 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk, a inspiring event held on May 9, 2026, in Norman, Oklahoma. This fourth annual race invites participants of all ages and abilities to hit the trails for a meaningful cause, celebrating wellness and supporting the local recovery community in Cleveland County. Proceeds directly benefit Cleveland County recovery court programs and other organizations dedicated to substance abuse and mental health services.

The course itself is a well-maintained trail run through a community park, offering a mostly flat profile with a few gentle hills. Runners and walkers will experience a smooth and safe path consisting of grass, sidewalk, and some gravel surfaces, a route frequently utilized for local high school cross country races. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 76°F and lows around 55°F, and only a 20% chance of precipitation, it promises pleasant weather for your run or walk. The 5K registration includes a custom t-shirt and finisher medal, while 1-mile participants receive a custom finisher medal.

Beyond the personal achievement, the Trail To Recovery 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a vital community mission. Awards await the overall top male and female 5K finishers, as well as the top three in each age division. Parking is conveniently available on the west side of the park off 36th Ave near Franklin Road, with additional overflow options. Join fellow runners and walkers for a day of community, health, and hope, knowing every step supports a path to recovery.
