This is our 9th 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. This year we will also be donating a portion of the funds raised to another local non-profit who work with vulnerable populations. That non-profit is yet to be determined but we will update it here and on our social media after that has been determined.

We are offering an in person event as well as a virtual event for those people who are out of the area or who want to participate but aren't able to attend. 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 some.

The in person event takes place as part of our Freedom Festival that includes pop-up, 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.

The virtual event can take place any where and any time during the month of September. You choose the time and location. It can be on a treadmill, through a park, in your neighborhood, along a trail, etc. This is a fun run so anyone can partcipate. We encourage people of all ages and fitness levels to join in the fun and go at your own pace.

All registered participants will receive a drawstring bag, t-shirt, and other goodies while supplies last. In person 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.

Packets will be mailed to virtual participants beginning at the end of August and soon after you register after that time.
