Break Free Run Celebrates 15 Years of Impact: More Than a Race — It’s a Movement to End Human Trafficking

Early Bird Registration Discount Extended to September 22

FOLSOM, California– On Saturday,October 18, 2025, 3Strands Global Foundation will host itsAnnual Break Free Run, commemorating fifteen years of community action, prevention education, and survivor support. This year’s theme,“More Than a Race,”captures the heart of the event — uniting families, athletes, businesses, and advocates in the fight to end human trafficking.

What began as a local 5K run has grown into a powerful movement, mobilizing thousands of individuals over the last decade and a half. The Break Free Run is more than just a race — it’s a platform for change, awareness, and community transformation.

Come be part of this Legacy of Impact.Since its inception, 3Strands Global and the Break Free Run have helped fundover 1.5 million students, educators, and parentswith prevention education. This year’s 15th anniversary will highlight survivor voices, showcase progress, and spark even greater momentum. Join us and be part of a movement that isMore Than a Race— it’s a bold stand for freedom, prevention, and community hope.

According to 3Strands Global founder Ashlie Bryant, the funds and awareness raised through the Break Free Run significantly further the mission and impact of the organization. “In Sacramento County alone, more than 13,000 minors and adults experienced sex trafficking from 2015-2020,” explains Bryant. “The news headlines are shocking and can be overwhelming. But by simply participating in the Break Free Run, our runners and walkers are making a difference by driving local action. They can show up, run, and know that they are helping real people affected by this situation in our own community.”
