The First Step 5k

Join us for the 3rd Annual First Step 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk & 5K Ruck, hosted by Haven at Blue Creek on our beautiful grounds in Grimesland, NC on April 4, 2026. The First Step 5K is more than a race — it’s a powerful morning where our community comes together to support women taking brave steps toward recovery.  All proceeds benefit Haven at Blue Creek, a Women's Rehabilitation Center committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for women overcoming addiction. Join us for post-race refreshments and a joyful, family-friendly atmosphere.  The course is a cross country style course (gravel road/grass) and includes running across the property’s Berm. Strollers are welcome for the 1-mile fun run but we do not recommend for the 5k.  Dogs on leashes are welcome.    HAVEN AT BLUE CREEKNestled in a serene landscape, Haven at Blue Creek is a sanctuary dedicated to the recovery of women fighting addiction. Our program, exclusively for women, embraces a holistic approach t
