OUTLAST PORTLAND

PDX Recovers is more than a 5K. It’s a chance to heal together. In a city known as Bridge City, this race connects running with recovery, neighbors with neighbors, and hope with action. It’s not just a fundraiser. It’s a movement—people training, walking, running, and rebuilding their lives together.

This event is hosted by Union Gospel Mission of Portland, an organization that has served people experiencing homelessness, hunger, addiction, and abuse in the Portland community for nearly 100 years.

Through programs that provide meals, showers, shelter, outreach and long-term recovery for men, women, and children, Union Gospel Mission Union Gospel Mission offers life-changing pathways toward stability and hope. Proceeds from the race will help support these programs and the individuals and families working to rebuild their lives.

Once online registration has closed, walk-up registration at packet pickup and on race day will still be available.
