The Houston Run for Recovery, now entering its sixth year with its annual race and community celebration scheduled for September 27, 2015, is showing its staying power in a community known as one of the strongest in the nation’s burgeoning recovery movement. "The Houston Run for Recovery highlights the fact that recovery from alcohol and drug addiction is achievable and celebrates the joy of living a full and healthy life free from substance use.” states Nadine Scamp, co-chair of the 2015 Houston Run for Recovery and CEO of Santa Maria Hostel. “In this National Recovery month celebration, our goal is to reach out to the community and say that everyone knows someone who has been impacted by addiction. We want to change the place of darkness and shame that those impacted by substance use disorder so often experience to one of hope and healing in recovery. Recovery is a life long process, and by running and walking together we show our support for all of our neighbors and loved ones who are making that daily effort to maintain long term recovery.” Participants are not necessarily individuals who have experienced recovery personally. However, anyone who has seen the benefits of recovery in someone they know and love can understand and share the joy of celebrating it. New this year is the ability to honor a loved one or one’s own recovery by writing a name on a special place on the race T-shirt. While the race celebrates recovery, its goal is to also embrace the entire running community. “As more serious runners become involved, we continue to build our numbers and also help others see the promise of a holistic approach to health in all areas of our lives,” adds Kay Austin, Run for Recovery Committee member and Board Chair of the Houston Recovery Center. Austin and Keith Liles, founding committee members, explain that the idea for the race originated when Austin was attending a national conference focused on the social aspects of recovery, where she heard stories of successful runs in other communities. Liles had a prior history with the InterFirst Symphony Run back in the 90s and together they embarked on their mission of developing Houston’s largest recovery event of the year. In the process of planning the event, the organizers discovered that many people in the recovery movement also are active in the running community, which proved to be a huge catalyst for getting the race up and running. Volunteers from the running community were instrumental in setting up the race to accommodate everyone from the professional runner striving to set a new official time to casual walkers supporting those in recovery. (Walkers are asked to start near the back of the pack to allow serious runners to achieve their best time.) The event will begin with a non-competitive 1K Kids Fun Run at 8:00am followed by a competitive and non-competitive 5K Run/Walk at 8:30am at 501 Prairie, Houston, Texas. Post race festivities and activities for the children will be held at Fish Plaza, Wortham Theater Center, Downtown Houston. Registration is available online, in person September 25th (10:00am-7:00pm) and 26th (10:00am-6:00pm) at Luke’s Locker, 1953 West Gray Street, Houston, TX 77019, or on-site at 7:00am on the day of the event. Proceeds will go to recovery-based scholarships benefiting program participants at Santa Maria Hostel, Extended Aftercare Alumni, and The Council on Recovery, the three Founding Sponsors of this event.

Jefferson Davis Hospital operated from 1924 to 1938 and was the first centralized municipal hospital to treat indigent patients in Houston, Texas. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The building, located in Houston's Historic First Ward, was designated as a protected historic landmark on November 13, 2013, by the Houston City Council and is monitored by the Historic Preservation Office of the City of Houston Department of Planning and Development.The location of the former hospital has gained notoriety as a stigmatized property due to public perception of its haunted origins.Prior to the construction of the hospital building, the lot was used as the former municipal cemetery and burial grounds for the City of Houston where thousands of Confederate States Army soldiers, former slaves, and city officials were laid to rest. The municipal cemetery operated on the lot from 1840 until the mid-1890s when it fell into decay, resulting in the reclassification of the lot for use as a municipal hospital by the Houston City Council in the 1920s.Architectural styleDesigned by Wilkes Alfred Dowdy, Architect for the City of Houston, the building for Jefferson Davis Hospital was constructed as a 4-story red brick structure with handsomely detailed façade that included stone veneers and rows of double-hung windows. The design was considered quite modern at the time of its construction and represented the architectural elements that were favored in the early 1900s for hospital design.
1879 Houston Waterworks is a building located in Houston, Texas listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Texas Company Building, located at 1111 Rusk in Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 2003.The 13-story structure opened in 1915 as home of the Texas Company. The New York firm of Warren and Wetmore designed the building in the Renaissance Revival style with Beaux-Arts accents. The exterior is faced with brick, terra cotta and Bedford limestone and features vaulted arcades supported by Tuscan columns along its Rusk and San Jacinto Street façades.The Texas Company became Texaco in 1959 and continued to occupy the building until 1989 when it moved to another facility. To accommodate growth, the company expanded the structure three times between 1936 and 1975.Since the building became vacant, developers proposed several plans to reuse it, however none were successful. In 2011, a development consortium created a plan for approximately 300 apartments with retail space and parking. They began work in 2013 and have demolished part of the structure but kept the 13-story section, the 1936 annex and the 16-story expansion added in 1958. Eventual plans call for a 38-story tower behind the historic structure.The management expects to open the completed building at the end of 2015.

In 1991, the late Bill Shiffick donated the land for the park to the city of Houston. Mr. Shiffick was very active with the "Tree People", who have now become part of another organization. He donated the land in order to preserve the magnificent old Oak tree that is the centerpiece of the park. Some have estimated that the tree is 100 years old or older. Its huge branches are covered with resurrection ferns, and the branches spread well beyond the confines of the park itself. Mr. Shiffick named the park after his beloved wife, Peggy. The park is THE smallest park in Houston, and is only 3500 square feet in size, but the tree makes the park seem much larger. The park has become the pride of the East Montrose Civic Association, which is an all volunteer organization of residents and friends of the East Montrose neighborhood - an area of Montrose bound by Montrose Blvd. on the west, W. Gray on the north, Genessee on the east, and Fairview on the south. The association agreed to take over maintenance of the park, and the city agreed to install the official park sign and benches. The park is the site of the EMCA annual picnic, and has become a place of respite and relaxation for the area and an oasis in the middle of a bustling metropolis.
