About Running for Renewal

Running for Renewal helps adults impacted by addiction and their families build lasting recovery, stability, and purpose through mentorship, accountability, movement, faith-centered support, and community engagement.

Many individuals successfully complete treatment but struggle to maintain long-term recovery due to a lack of ongoing support, healthy relationships, accountability, and community connection.

The Ysasaga Recovery Success Methodology™ addresses this gap through four pillars:

Spiritual Health • Mental & Emotional Health • Physical Health • Social Connection & Accountability

The methodology is delivered through Running for Renewal Communities—structured recovery-support communities established through partnerships with churches and other mission-aligned organizations.

Serve 50–100 recovery participants and 50–100 family members, establish 2–5 pilot Running for Renewal Communities, train 15–25 volunteer mentors, engage 50+ volunteers, and host 350–500 participants at the annual Running for Renewal 5K Run and 1-Mile Run/Walk.

A community-wide event promoting recovery, wellness, accountability, and hope while generating sustainable support for our mission.
