About the Event
This first-time event will be held on the Dorothea Dix Campus on Sunday, September 29, beginning at 9 am. Profits from the event will go to Exit Opioids.
Exit Opioids (Exit) is a non-profit organization that was established in 2019 in Cary, North Carolina and created to connect people suffering from drug addiction to treatment centers, services, and resources in the fastest way possible to help them eliminate drug dependency. This non-profit was established to reduce the gap that many programs have with addressing the opioid crisis and the lack of user-level awareness that exists. There is an abundance of various help resources available, but resources are not always accessible by the users in a timely fashion - at the critical time when in crisis, to enable an immediate connection with the self-assisted facilities. Exit’s connection platform to treatment centers, services and resources are expected to reduce opioid overdose and overdose death.
There is a special family entry fee of $90 for a family of four or less. Additional family members can enter for $15.
The entry fees increase by $5 after September 19. T-shirt sizes are also guaranteed to all entered by the 19th. After that date, it will be "as available."
In the 5K awards will be presented to the top three male finishers overall, to the top three female finishers overall, and to the top three finishers (both sexes) in each of the following age groups (both sexes): 12-under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70-over.
