Description
Join us for a chip-timed race to raise funds to fight human trafficking in South Dakota and around the world! Be sure to register ASAP for the 10K, 5K, or 1 mile, to be held in the Dell Rapids City Park. Funds raised will go to two organizations this year. The first is Freedom's Journey, based in Rapid City, which "assists those who have been enslaved to find the freedom and safety they deserve." The second is Call to Freedom, based in Sioux Falls, which "provides responsive services for victims of human trafficking."
**Our deadline for a guaranteed shirt has passed. We have ordered extra shirts and they are on a first come - first serve based on sign-ups. We are doing our best to accommodate orders as best we can.**
***Registration fees cover all race swag, shipping costs, and the cost of operating the event. Any remaining funds will be donated to the cause!***
Both of these organizations do amazing work in order to fight human trafficking in South Dakota, but also partner with other organizations to stop it from happening in other places around the world. Every ticket and donation goes towards ending human trafficking in our lifetime!
This year, we have a goal of raising $3,000 through donations, in order to increase our impact. When you sign up, you will be given a fundraising page so you can personally engage others to give towards "The Race." You will receive a custom link to share on social media or by email or text. People can also come to this registration page and give a personal donation.
