This is our 11th annual event. We do this event to raise awareness about human trafficking and what the Set Free Movement is doing to combat it and to raise funds for this cause. Our local team has started a Fostering Hope ministry that supports those in foster care and the people who work with them. Proceeds will help support the Set Free Movement and Fostering Hope. 

This is a fun run so anyone can participate. We have had people of all fitness levels and ages participate. Some run, some jog, some walk- everyone is encouraged to join us.

The event takes place as part of our Freedom Festival that includes pop-ups, food, raffle, kids area, and more. The route is a flat route on roads through nice neighborhoods and along a trail next to a canal.

All registered participants will receive a drawstring bag, t-shirt, and other goodies while supplies last. Participants are eligible for awards for the overall fastest male and female as well as fastest male and female in each of our age categories.  

 Shirts are guaranteed for everyone who registers by Sept 1. Early bird registration pricing on  September 13.
