All of the proceeds from the event directly support the Y’s Annual Campaign. The Annual Campaign helps support several programs at our local YMCA including our Financial Assistance Program that helps subsidize Y membership and program costs for people in our community, our food program that helps serve an average of 700 meals each week to kids in our community, and our LIVESTRONG program that helps over 100 cancer survivors annually regain their strength and confidence after treatment.

COURSE MAPS

The RUD Run (Run Until Done) is a very unique experience for runners! We welcome runners of all ability and experience level. We believe this event allows the opportunity for runners to experience our trails, a variety of the unique features, and to push themselves in a unique format. The run begins at 9:00 a.m. and each runner (either individual or one runner for each team) will have up to ONE HOUR to complete their 4.15 mile loop.

2026 brings in our 12th year of our 5K Honor Run/Walk and 10K Road Race - the only Road Race in La Crosse County - to honor those we may have lost to addiction, who are struggling in active addiction or those that are thriving in recovery!

All of us have been touched in some way by addiction. Some in their pain still trapped in the addiction cycle, others working through stages of recovery, loved ones impacted by the effects of substance use and addictions, and those who are celebrating recovery.

Recovery from substance use and the cycle of addiction is achievable. This run celebrates the real possibility of living a full and wholesome life free from the addiction cycle and its destructive effects; restoration of body-mind-soul and healed relationships with a hope for a bright future.

Home Run for Recovery’s objectives: 1) raise awareness of what addiction is; 2) raise awareness of the Coulee Recovery Center and the resource that the agency can provide; and 3) raise funds to provide recovery support and relapse prevention programming.

Home Run for Recovery will be a 5K Run/Walk, 10K Road Race and Little Leaguer's race around the bases (for young kids) or around the warning track (older kids) of the Logger's Baseball Stadium.

A unique trait of this race is that all races will lead off at home plate of the Logger's Stadium, Copeland Park, La Crosse, WI. As you return "Home" the crowd can watch you cross the finish line (or slide into home plate if you so desire) like their favorite Loggers on game day.

Participants in the 10K and 5K will receive a T-shirt with each registration. Stay for the little leaguers races where youth participants will get a prize at the end of the race.

Races will be timed and results will be split into four categories for the top three men and women, who will be provided with an award:

ages 19 and under

20-39

40-59

60 and above

If register by August 14th you will be guaranteed the t-shirt size you registered for.

Come out and support a great cause!

NEW THIS YEAR!!! While the 5K and 10K race is going there will be volunteers with whiffle ball equipment in the outfield ready to play some whiffle ball with any kids hanging out for their race.

Registration is open from Monday, June 1st to Thursday, September 3rd at midnight. Same day registration will be available at an additional cost.

Registration Costs:

10K - $35*

5K - $25*

Little Leaguers Race (ages 11 and below) - FREE, just show up day of event.

***Results will be provided on the Home Run Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/homerunforrecovery) and the Home Run page (https://www.couleerecovery.org/home-run) on the Coulee Recovery Center's Website.

Race bibs pick up will be on Friday, September 4th from 4-6pm at Coulee Recovery Center (933 Ferry St. La Crosse, WI) or at Logger Stadium on race day starting at 6:30am, with a hard cut off at 7:45am so the race can begin on time.
