1 Miles 3.1 Miles 6.2 Miles Run Walk Wheelchair

Get some miles in at this family-friendly run/walk! Timed events: 5K, 10K or 1 mile options that will take you through Historic Downtown Cape Charles, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.

Start times will be STAGGERED for the 1 Mile (9:00 AM), 10K (9:15 AM) and 5K (9:30 AM). All events require registration and include a t-shirt, timed event, post-run-party with music, kids' activities, snacks, and a finisher medal (4th in a series of 4).

Participants can opt to participate in the color zone and be sprayed with bright, fun, harmless, and environmentally safe colors. This color zone will be available for all events: 10k, 5k, and 1 mile.

A free Kids’ Dash (10 & under) will be organized on Bay Avenue at the conclusion of the other events, so round up those kiddos and bring them along!

We will also have our third annual Wheelchair Accessible Race!

    Welcome to our 11th Annual Offramps 5K! We're so glad you've chosen to join us to show your continued commitment to ending human trafficking.

    The Offramps 5K is an annual event hosted by Freekind to raise awareness of human trafficking and funds to support our prevention and restoration programs. The name of the event refers to our work in creating "offramps to freedom" for victims of commercial sexual exploitation. Because traffickers have stolen away their freedom and manipulated them into believing that there is no other path for them, Freekind works to restore their hope, by providing practical support to give them a way out. By joining us for our annual 5K, you are part of creating offramps to freedom for survivors of human trafficking.

    Race Packet-Pickup will be held the morning of race-day!

    When: Saturday, April 25th from 7:30AM to 8:00AM.

    Where: Registration/Check-In Table

    ABOUT US

    Freekind exists to prevent human trafficking in our communities and support survivors on their journey to freedom. We offer awareness and industry-specific training, a nationally recognized prevention education curriculum for youth, and restorative services for criminalized victims. With your help, we can protect our children and restore freedom, hope and belonging to survivors of human trafficking. Will you join us?

    To find out more about Freekind and how you can get involved, please visit our website, www.freekindva.org.

    All proceeds will go directly to Freekind to fund education and prevention efforts, victim services, and continuing efforts to end human trafficking.
