LIGHTHOUSE’S RECOVERY RUN OF THE ROCKIES

What if you could make a difference for women in Northern Colorado?

Lace up your running shoes for the Third Annual Recovery Run of the Rockies 5K, right here in Fort Collins!

This uplifting charity run supports Lighthouse’s sober living services, with every dollar raised bringing us closer to opening our first women’s supportive recovery home, complete with wraparound support to help women rebuild their lives in sobriety.

A Great Race for a Great Cause

This inclusive, family-friendly event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and fitness levels. It’s more than a 5K—it’s a powerful way to stand with the women in our community seeking a safe, supportive environment to recover. Coming Soon: Our Women’s Program →

Start with an energizing 5K around Fossil Creek Park, then celebrate Colorado-style with a pancake breakfast, live DJ, prize drawings—and a true sense of community. If you’d love to help women in recovery, and you happen to love fitness or pancakes or all of the above, then this is the event for you!

Register Here to be part of the fun and make a difference!

Why Your Support Matters

All proceeds directly fund the establishment and ongoing programming of a women’s sober living home in Fort Collins.
This home will offer a structured, supportive environment, including mentorship, peer groups, and recovery tools designed specifically for women.
Your participation helps create a safe community space where financial barriers don’t stand in the way of recovery.
