Recovery Cafe Lexington is a peer-led, peer-run community space for individuals to build recovery relationships and find supportive resources. We aren’t the type of café that sells sandwiches or lattés; we're a gathering space for folks on a recovery journey and our allies. We celebrate every type and pathway of recovery (substance use, mental health, housing insecurity, and more). No matter the need, we have resources to help; whether you or someone you know is in long-term recovery or contemplating making a change. We invite anyone to attend a support group, a sober social event, or see a Recovery Coach who can help be a guide through unique challenges. A new life is waiting for you!
OUR VISION To empower people in their own recovery with a welcoming community driven sanctuary to connect with one another, heal, feel accepted, loved, and worthy of success in their life.

The Monster Mash & Dash 5K Glow Run in Lexington, KY, is an exciting annual event scheduled for October 11, 2024. This is more than just a standard 5K; it's a vibrant, family-friendly experience designed to celebrate the Halloween season. Participants can anticipate a fun-filled evening where the emphasis is on enjoyment and festive spirit, rather than competitive times. The "Glow Run" aspect means the race takes place after dark, transforming the course into a luminous spectacle as runners and walkers light up the night with glow sticks, neon attire, and illuminated accessories. Participants should expect a lively atmosphere with Halloween-themed decorations and potentially costumed participants adding to the festive mood. The event is open to both runners and walkers, making it accessible for all fitness levels. While the specific terrain of the 5K course in Lexington (ZIP code 40511) isn't detailed, typical 5K routes in such areas often include paved roads or well-maintained park trails. The primary condition to prepare for is the nighttime setting; bring glow gear and embrace the unique visual experience of running or walking under the stars, illuminated by participant glow. This race is renowned for its emphasis on community fun and a unique, spooky nighttime run.
