BUILT DIFFERENT BY PAIN. POWERED DIFFERENT BY PURPOSE.
Your past doesn't break you, it builds you.

This didn't start as an organization. It started with someone trying to get his life back. After serving in the military, struggling with addiction, and facing a return to prison, he found the running community. It didn't fix everything, but it gave him structure and put him around people who showed up.
I Am Redemption exists because a lot of people are carrying things they don't always talk about, addiction, trauma, loss, feeling stuck, or just trying to make it through the day. We're trying to make it normal for people to show up in the middle of whatever they're working through.
People come for different reasons. For some, it's moving their body with others. For others, it's having a place to talk or listen. And for many, it's simply being around others who understand what it feels like to not have everything figured out.
IAR is founded by combat veteran and ultra runner Shawn Livingston, whose story is documented in 100 Miles to Redemption.
A raw, unfiltered look at what it means to fall completely and choose to rise anyway. Army veteran Shawn Livingston confronts heroin addiction, PTSD, and everything behind him, with a 100-mile trail race forcing the question of who he's going to be.
Available on Prime Video and Tubi.
