About this race
Ryan’s Run: A 5K for Recovery & Hope
We are honored to present Ryan’s Run, a community 5K dedicated to celebrating the life of Ryan McDermott, a loving father, son, brother, and friend. Ryan’s journey with substance use was long and difficult, but it never defined who he truly was. He was known for his kind heart, his adventurous spirit, and his deep love of music. Music was the soundtrack of his life, and he often shared it with those around him as a way of connecting, lifting spirits, and creating joy.
Although his battle with substance use was painful, programs like those supported by the New Hampshire Coalition of Recovery Residences (NHCORR) gave him years of sobriety, stability, and happiness. Those were years filled with family, laughter, and memories that will be cherished forever.
While we grieve the loss of Ryan, we also celebrate his legacy. He would be so proud and so happy to know that an event like this is happening in his honor, bringing people together to support recovery and give others the same opportunities for hope and healing that he once had.
About the Cause
Proceeds from Ryan’s Run will support the New Hampshire Coalition of Recovery Residences (NHCORR), a nonprofit that helps certify and support safe, sober living homes across the state. These homes give people in recovery a stable place to live, rebuild, and thrive.
Unfortunately, almost everyone today knows a friend, loved one, or co-worker who has been affected by substance abuse. Even if this run saves one life, it is all worth it.
Every registration, donation, and step taken at Ryan’s Run will directly help more people on their path to recovery.
