Last year's event drew nearly 2,000 participants and raised $143,000 to protect women and children from trafficking.

The event is a fun, tangible way to take a stand against one of the most horrific crimes of our generation. The "Free Them" 5k raises awareness and funds for World Concern's anti-trafficking programs, which help protect the poor and vulnerable, providing opportunities for education and to earn income safely.

Start Fundraising: As part of this event, you can create a personal fundraising page and raise money for the cause.
