Our Mission
We run in the Path to Freedom 5K Obstacle Course Run to support Guardian Group’s vital mission to combat child sex trafficking in the United States. Every muddy crawl, rope climb, and tire flip fuels their Project 1591, which uses Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to identify victims and provide free analytical support to law enforcement, helping recover those trapped in exploitation. By tackling this challenging course, you’re taking a stand, raising funds, and breaking the chains of trafficking, one step at a time.
Guardian Group is a veteran-operated nonprofit dedicated to preventing and disrupting sex trafficking of women and children in the United States.
Through their Project 1591, they leverage Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and a crowdsourced volunteer network.
