Stop Human Trafficking 5K Run/Walk Race Description
We are hosting our 3rd annual 5k run April 27th, 2025! This Run will be Chip Timed by Under the Sun Events. We are very excited to launch this run again this year. As last year, our efforts in part benefit a worldwide issue that we feel strongly about.
The Impact of Trafficking
Human trafficking can happen to anyone, but some people are more vulnerable than others. Vulnerable groups include recent migrants, those with substance use/mental health illnesses, people with limited education, and individuals experiencing poverty or homelessness (especially youth). Traffickers may prey on these vulnerabilities to create a dependent relationship and make it more difficult for victims to leave. Most frequently, people are trafficked by someone they know and taken by manipulation rather than force. This manipulation and coercion often escalate to physical, emotional, and financial abuse.
Once immediate safety is established, the UN states that “acquiring skills and competencies for sustainable livelihoods” is an intermediate need and crucial part of a successful recovery for trafficked individuals. Soroptimists have decades of experience with providing this intervention through our education awards and other financial support.
Women and girls who have been trafficked often suffer financially, being forced to rely on their trafficker or forced to turn over their earnings to their trafficker. Even after they escape and are safe, they often face unfair societal stigma that can make finding meaningful employment difficult.
We appreciate your support, and we hope to see you on race day at 8:30am!
The Race Entry fee is $40 and you will have the option to purchase a T-shirt.
