💚 Mental Health Awareness

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to break the stigma surrounding mental health and emphasize the importance of well-being. At Recovery Through Repetition (RTR), we recognize the deep connection between mental health, recovery, and movement. Inspired by this, we are proud to host the 1st Annual RTR 5K for Recovery, an event dedicated to Shining a Light on Mental Health by raising funds and awareness for those in recovery while promoting the mental and physical benefits of fitness.
