Who Are We: Joshua 1:9 Run for Recovery's vision is to overcome addiction by providing funding for individuals seeking treatment in the Houston County, TN area.

Our Why: Our Annual 5K is dedicated to the memory of Joshua Aaron Mitchell. Josh was a Son, Brother and Friend to many and was always looking for ways to help and love others around him. When Josh came out of rehab, his first and only priority was to help his friends who were still battling the disease of addiction. His goal was to help his friends seek treatment and find recovery just as he had. We want to honor Josh and continue what he started by assisting individuals in our community with the ability to afford and access rehabilitation resources.

What: The Registration Fee will be $35.00 to sign up for the 5K and that includes a T-Shirt (all ages). For those not wanting to participate but want to support our community the T-Shirt Only option is $20.00. All of the donations we receive will go back into our community, funding individuals seeking treatment. The only way to guarantee a T-Shirt with your size is to register BEFORE MARCH 1st!
