Break Free Run – 5K/10K/Kids Fun Run
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 its Annual 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 fund over 1.5 million students, educators, and parents with 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 is More Than a Race — it’s a bold stand for freedom, prevention, and community hope.
