2023 Virtual Recovery Run Flag Memorial event

Community Human Services, Montage Health’s Prescribe Safe Initiative, IHeart Radio, and Salinas Valley Health are spreading the word about the opioid crisis in our community and inviting the community to attend Memorial Flag Events held in conjunction with the 2023 Virtual 5K/3K Recovery Run.

On Saturday, April 28, over 1,800 flags will be on display from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. on the lawn at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Soledad to honor those whose lives have been affected by opioid addiction. Come by and hear from Dist. 3 Supervisor Chris Lopez, Soledad Mayor Ann Velazquez, individuals whose lives have been affected by opioids, and others about how the opioid crisis impacts the area and what we, as a caring community, can do to address it. Narcan, the opioid overdose reversal medication, will also be distributed free of charge.
