Fall into Recovery 5K presented by Pecan Haven Addiction Recovery Center

Fall into Recovery 5K is held in Monroe, Louisiana, on November 14, 2026, presented by the Pecan Haven Addiction Recovery Center. One 5K (3.1 miles) is on the schedule, starting at 8:00 a.m., which puts the whole event inside a couple of hours of your morning.

Community 5Ks like this one are a good place to start running seriously, because the distance is reachable within a couple of months from nothing at all. Alternate three minutes of running with two of walking, three times a week, and extend the running portion each week; by week eight most people can cover 3.1 miles continuously. If you already run, the early start makes it easy to add a few miles afterward and turn race day into a long run.
