Description: The Malibu Heroes in Recovery 6K is a unique run/walk presented by Foundations Recovery Network and The Canyon. The Heroes in Recovery movement started because, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 20 million people needed substance abuse treatment last year and did not receive it. About 10 million Americans did not receive needed mental healthcare. The stigma associated with substance abuse and mental health disorders creates a significant barrier to individuals and families seeking help. It takes a heroic effort to live clean and sober each day, and Heroes celebrates that effort. The sixth kilometer separates a Heroes 6K race from a typical 5K to symbolize the extra effort it takes to sustain recovery. Enjoy the terrain of Paramount Ranch on your 6K trail run/hike where Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman was filmed.
