Wellspring, Inc. Bangor’s long-time partner in wellness for our community is hosting its annual 5K to celebrate Recovery Month this September. Come down to the Waterfront Park on Sept. 15 to run, walk, or cheer on those racing for recovery or jump in line and get some exercise yourself. We can’t deny the natural and long-lasting benefits of exercise for physical and mental health.
Last year’s event had music, pizza, information booths, free massages for participants, and a great sense of unconditional love and support. Prizes were awarded and life was celebrated.
We all know someone impacted by addiction or recovery, yet we don’t always know where we can go for help. It is important our community know where they can go to meet people passionate about sharing recovery and supporting one another. Please take the time to sign up or share information about this year’s 5K Race for Recovery. I hope to see you there!
