This year’s Race for Recovery will be on September 21, 2025 at the Bangor Waterfront. 

There will be food, fun, and music as well as community partner and vendor tables providing information about their services.  

Over the past 10 years, Wellspring’s Race for Recovery has more than $280,000 directly funding life-changing services for individuals on their recovery journey. 

This year, we can make it our best year yet!! 

IN THE NEWS – Community members, activists and over 40 organizations promoting recovery resources commemorated National Black Balloon Day, recognized on March 4, 2025, in memory of the lives lost to drug overdose.

Randy Beard, who is the founder and president of Recover Together, says the group has organized the annual event for the past five years in different cities across Maine. Each year, he says, grows in attendance.

“Gratefully, in the last couple of years, Maine overdose rates have declined. We’re one of the only states that has gone down two years in a row, and I attribute that to events like today,” Beard explains. “It’s to love, remember and make some noise about all the people we’ve lost to overdose.” See full story here!
