3Strands Global Foundation, a nonprofit organization working toward a world free from human trafficking, is thrilled to announce the return of the Break Free Run which will take place Saturday, Oct, 19.
The run will start at Lakeside Church on the Parkway Trails in Folsom. The event includes a Kids Fun Run which starts at 7:45 a.m., a 10k at 8 a.m. and a 5k walk/run at 8:15 a.m. In addition, the event will feature music, vendors, food trucks and an opportunity to meet and greet with special guests who will be revealed before the race.
Registration is open to both individuals and teams. All participants will receive a special edition Break Free Run shirt with this year’s theme: L.O.V.E. — “Lace Up, Overcome, Victory, Empower.” As an extra treat each 5k/10k finisher will also receive a one-of-a-kind 3Strands Global Foundation finisher medal.
Prior to COVID, 3Strands Global Foundation hosted this event each year with a goal of bringing both local and global communities together and educating individuals on human trafficking awareness and prevention.
“The best way to fight this horrific crime is through prevention education to teach people how to recognize human trafficking activities” said Ashlie Bryant, CEO of 3Strands Global Foundation. “Our prevention education programs reach schools, communities, vulnerable populations as well as businesses and juvenile justice and nonprofit professionals. Events like the Break Free Run help raise awareness and funds to support these programs.”
