About this race

Come out and run or walk the 11th Annual Heels Up Race!! This race will take place on March 20, 2027 in the beautiful Provenance neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana.  This event is for all ages with a Kids Fun Run and a 5K that you can run or walk.  100% of proceeds from this race supports The Hub Urban Ministries program Purchased: Not for Sale. Purchased exists to serve women and children who are victims of sex trafficking or leaving the sex industry. We do that by providing Rescue, Relationship, Resources, and Recovery.  How do we do it:
• Rescue: Giving survivors access to get out of the exploitative situation they are in and into a safe and stable environment is the first step in the healing process. Outreaches, community trafficking tips and law enforcement partnerships are the main ways that Purchased is a part of the rescue for women and children in our city.
• Relationships: By surrounding women and children with healthy relationships on all sides, we can equip them to be able to endure the long process of healing and restoration. 
• Resources: Food, clothes, education, medical care, counseling and a safe home to live in are all examples of resources offered by Purchased to serve the sexually exploited in Shreveport

 • Recovery: The programs of Purchased give those who are working towards healing and restoration access to the tools and relationships they need in order to recover from their trauma. The programs address both recovery from substance abuse as well as recovery from trauma.

 This race is run in honor of all the survivors of sex trafficking and to fight for those who are still victims! All runners are invited to donate their shoes or bring a pair of shoes to donate on race day. If you donate your race shoes after you cross the finish line then you will receive a Heels Up water bottle and a chance to win a year subscription to Rise Up and Roast coffee.
