The Her Song 5,000-Mile Challenge, by F3 Columbus
About this race
Hey everyone! Please join F3 COLUMBUS in Ohio for our 2nd Annual week-long virtual activity challenge! We're aiming to log a whopping 5,000 miles together as a group. It's all for a great cause—raising awareness about the serious issue of human trafficking right here in Central Ohio.
Throughout the week of October 5-11, 2025, all participants will track their own miles wherever you want to log them. Whether you're walking, running, cycling, or doing your favorite activity, every mile counts towards our goal!
Not only are we spreading awareness, but we're also fundraising for Her Song, a nonprofit in Columbus that supports survivors of human trafficking from our community. The money raised will directly help in their recovery and restoration. Let's make a difference together!
ABOUT WHERE HER SONG - https://www.hersong.org/

- Trauma-responsive Victim Outreach

- Long-term Residential Survivor Care
We’re here to stand alongside survivors, creating a safe and nurturing environment where they can rebuild their lives and discover their worth.
ABOUT F3 NATION - https://f3nation.com/
F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Our workouts …
Are free of charge
Are open to all men
Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
End with a Circle of Trust
We welcome men of all fitness levels to our workouts and have no requirement for membership other than that you show up at the appointed time and place and follow what the workout leader (the “Q” in F3 lingo) does.
