    Join the Crawford County Drug & Alcohol Executive Commission Inc. (CCDAEC) in a fun 5k race and 1-mile walk. This race is designed to raise funds for the annual Recovery Celebration here in Meadville, PA in September, increasing drug overdose awareness (which Drug Overdose Awareness Day is August 31st), and recovery activities brought to you by our agency, the CCDAEC. Donations are also accepted.

    Race/Walk Details

    Location: Ernst Bike Trail Bean's Trailhead. 18701 Smock Hwy, Meadville, PA 16335

    Race Price: Registration for the race is $25 and will increase on July 23rd (7/23/26) by $5. Race day registrations are cash only, priced at $30.

    Registration: Right there in the parking lot by the Start/Finish line. It opens at 8:00am and the 5k starts at 9:00am and the 1-mile walk starts at approximately 9:15am.

    Children: Children ages 10 and below will not have to register if participating along with a parent/guardian. This is unless the child wants to try to win an award for the 5k and/or a T-shirt. There have been a lot of inquiries about a children's race, as we allow children to run for free, we will not be having a separate race for children.

    Course: A scenic out-n-back course over the Ernst Bike Trail.

    Timing Service: Will be determined at a later date.

    5k Awards: There will be an award for the top male and female. Additionally, there will be top 3 awards for each age group that are separated by 10 years (i.e., Under 19, 20-29... up to Over 70). The winners will be announced at approximately 10:00am. The awards will be locally made by The 100 Acre Wood Shop in Meadville.
