Rushford will host its inaugural Race for Recovery on Saturday, May 12 to benefit programs at Rushford’s Stonehaven facility in Portland. The 5k race and fun run will be held Agogliati Field at 25 Middlesex Avenue in Portland.

The idea for the race came after Rushford sponsored several Stonehaven clients in a local 5k race last year to help with their recovery. One of the sponsored clients won the race.

“That’s really how the conversation for this race started.  It’s a great way to engage our clients, whether they’re walking or running,” said Jillene A. Bertolini, LMFT, Director of Adult Residential Services and Adult Ambulatory Services

Registration for the inaugural Rushford Race for Recovery begins at 8:30 a.m. with the race starting at 9:30 a.m.  Fee is $20 for early registration and $25 on the day of the event.
