The SJ5K is a benefit run hosted by high school students at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park to honor and support local families in crisis. Each year, the event’s purpose is to bring the community together to provide hope, support, and financial relief for families facing illness, medical emergencies, or other life-altering situations, all while developing student leadership.

Over the past fourteen years, the SJ5K has been able to support over 70 local families. Please consider joining us in 2026 for the 16th annual SJ5K on May 3rd. Also, take a moment to browse our RunSignUp website or visit www.SJ5K.org to learn more about our 2026 families and SJ5K crew, as well as explore more on the event’s history and the impact it has had on our friends and neighbors.

    All fitness levels welcome!

    Join us for our 5th Annual Run for Recovery 5K, a timed run/walk open to all fitness levels, held on a fast, flat course in scenic Hines Park. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers.

    The event raises funds for our Help a Sister Out program. That pays half of the registration fee to support women in 12-step recovery programs who need financial assistance to attend the Women in Motion retreat.

    What’s included in your registration:

    • T-shirt for participants registered by April 12 (shirt not guaranteed after this date)

    • Finisher medal for every runner and walker

    • Refreshments at start and finish

    • Day-of registration available ($45)

    By participating, you’re helping remove financial barriers for women on their recovery journey — and making our community stronger.

    Register today and help us cross the finish line together!
