About RUN

About Us

RUN is an initiative established back in 2013 by four founding members: Celebrate Recovery, San Patrignano, Izlazak/Exodus and EURAD. Since March 2021 RUN has partnered with and was declared a committee of the WFAD – World Federation Against Drugs. RUN is a collaboration of organizations supporting people in recovery as well as individuals who are going through the recovery journey.

Our vision is to raise the voice of the recovery movement, by contributing to constructive and respectful drug policies, for individuals, families and communities.

Our mission is to offer a network which provides and supports a voice for people in recovery from addiction and to promote and share the experience of recovery, on both the political and practical level.

RUN will be managed by a Steering Committee.

Chair: Boro Goic

Secretary General: Mulka Nisic
