Join our community for the annual Rescue Run/Walk 5K, an inspiring event uniting runners and walkers of all skill levels to help end child exploitation and sex trafficking. All net proceeds directly benefit Destiny Rescue, an Indiana based global Christian 501(c)3 organization dedicated to rescuing and restoring children trapped in human trafficking. Save Lives: Every registration fee helps fund real-world rescue and reintegration operations for exploited children. Raise Awareness: Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our community to shine a light on the dark reality of human trafficking. Make an Impact: Support the tireless frontline work led by Destiny Rescue to bring freedom and hope back to vulnerable kids. Registration includes: Official race bib, male and female winner's medal in several age group brackets, and overall open medal winners, and a commemorative T-shirt (if ordered). Think a race finish line is just about catching your breath? Think again! At Rescue Run your reward for crossing the finish line is massive, a music-pumping Bubble Foam After-Party! The high-powered foam cannons will blast towering walls of vibrant, colored foam to celebrate your achievement. Don't worry about the mess-the custom suds are 100% non-toxic, eco-friendly, tear-free, and easily wash out. It's the most fun you have on two feet! What a way to celebrate knowing you are helping set a child free!!!
