Celebrity Sobriety

Zac Clark on Sobriety, Resilience, and Running

YOU CAN’T RUN AWAY FROM YOURSELF –

Nov. 1, 2024 – The Bachelorette star is running the TCS New York City Marathon to support underprivileged individuals on the path toward recovery.

This year, he is running his 10th NYC marathon with Reebok to raise $1,000,000 to support individuals on the path to recovery. As Clark approaches 13 years of sobriety, he is inspired to give back to others through running. 

Clark’s journey began in Haddonfield, New Jersey, where he played baseball and developed a love for Philadelphia sports. However, his life took a challenging turn at 24 when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, marking the start of a difficult relationship with opiates that spiraled into years of addiction.

“Through surgery, I was introduced to opiates, which quickly turned into several years of active addiction. This ended with me living on the streets of Camden, NJ, shooting heroin and doing crack cocaine. This was ultimately the biggest blessing in my life because it led me to where I am today. I got sober with the help of family, treatment, and community,” Clark told Athletech News.
