Registration open for ‘Recovery for the Long Run’ 5K to support Lewis County Drug Court and more

The Foundation for the Therapeutic Courts of Lewis County and Lewis County Drug Court alumni will host their annual 5K in Chehalis on May 12.

This year’s run is titled “Recovery For The Long Run.”

Registration is now open, with anyone who registers before April 24 guaranteed to receive a T-shirt. Registration will remain open through the day of the 5K.

The cost to register is $25 per person or $100 for a group of five.

Registration can be picked up at the Drug Court office within the Lewis County Law and Justice Center in Chehalis. Participants can also call or text Emily LaCasse at 360-880-3871 for more information.

Rain or shine, the run starts at Stan Hedwall Park in Chehalis at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, May 12.

“There will be awards, light snacks and community after the run/walk,” Drug Court Program Manager Stephanie Miller said in an email to The Chronicle.

The goal of the event is to raise funding and awareness for Lewis County Drug Court and other local therapeutic courts, including Family Recovery Court.

Lewis County Drug Court is a felony diversion program where successful graduates have their criminal charges dismissed. The program typically lasts between 16 and 22 months, with participants receiving support and guidance from a team of professionals.
