Freedom 5K
About this race
Join us for the Freedom Rising 5K in Carmel, Indiana, and take a stand against human trafficking.
Freedom Rising is a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating human trafficking and supporting vulnerable women and children through prevention, rescue support, safe housing, education, medical care, and long-term restoration efforts.
All the proceeds from this 5K will go toward efforts to combat human trafficking. Your registration, donation, and support will help Freedom Rising and our partners continue work that protects vulnerable individuals, supports survivors, and creates pathways toward safety and freedom.
Whether you run, walk, bring your family, or simply come out to support the cause, every participant becomes part of something bigger.
Every step brings freedom. Every step changes a story. Every step can change a life.
