Why Run or Walk? Run or walk for an enslaved woman by name whom the Aruna Project staff personally know and are working to free from the brothels. Thanks to local race sponsors covering race expenses, 100 percent of registration fees and donations go to bring and sustain freedom to women in desperate need of new beginnings.
Each race participant will receive a t-shirt and an athletic drawstring backpack made by free Aruna Artisans. Each finisher will also receive a 2019 race medal. Sign up early to guarantee t-shirt size and availability.
