About five hundred people took part in an 8-k Run/Walk Health Expo at Ross Bridge this morning.
The event raised money for an addiction recovery program called the Alabama Teen Challenge.
Organizers say it was an overwhelming show of support for the program which helps mend broken lives.
"Alabama Teen Challenge is the oldest largest most successful program of our kind in the entire world and this benefited our team today," said Suzanne Smith.
Smith says even though runners got rained on, they had a really good time and raised close to ten thousand dollars for the program.
