The annual Langley Run for Sobriety has set new records this year, with a remarkable turnout and unprecedented funds raised for local charities. On October 14, 2023, the event attracted over 1,500 participants, marking the largest attendance in its history.

The run, held in Langley, aimed to raise awareness about addiction and promote sobriety. Participants ranged from seasoned athletes to first-time runners, all united by a common purpose. The event included various distances, allowing everyone to take part, regardless of their fitness level.
Organizers reported that the event raised over $250,000 USD, surpassing previous fundraising totals. The proceeds will benefit several local charities that provide resources and support for individuals recovering from addiction. “We are thrilled with the turnout and the amount raised this year. It reflects the community’s dedication to supporting sobriety,” said Emily Johnson, the event coordinator.

Many runners shared personal stories about their journeys to sobriety, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared experience. Local businesses also participated by sponsoring the event and providing refreshments, further enhancing community involvement.
The success of this year’s Langley Run for Sobriety not only emphasizes the importance of community support but also encourages ongoing conversations about addiction and recovery. As awareness grows, so does the potential for positive change in the lives of those affected by substance abuse.
