12th Annual Race for Recovery & Fun Run

On Saturday, June 15^th, Maryville’s 12^th Annual Race for Recovery 5K and Fun Run brought more than 200 people together to raise funds for the Peter P. Black IV Scholarship Fund at Maryville. The fund was founded by Kathleen “Kate” Holt in honor of her son Peter, who passed away in 2004 from a substance use disorder. Kate shared Peter’s story prior to the race start, encouraging those in attendance to continue supporting and promoting the need for addiction prevention, treatment, and support services.

Once again this year, it was a beautiful day for Maryville’s Race for Recovery, with sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and a beautiful breeze. The event was the most successful race yet, raising more than $15,000 for the scholarship fund, which assists individuals unable to afford treatment.

Congratulations to our winners!
