Set Free Movement Freedom Run/Walk

This is our 9th annual event. We do this event to raise awareness about human trafficking and what the Set Free Movement is doing to combat it and to raise funds for this cause. This year we will also be donating a portion of the funds raised to another local non-profit who work with vulnerable populations. That non-profit is yet to be determined but we will update it here and on our social media after that has been determined.

We are offering an in person event as well as a virtual event for those people who are out of the area or who want to participate but aren't able to attend. This is a fun run so anyone can participate. We have had people of all fitness levels and ages participate. Some run, some jog, some walk- everyone is encouraged to some.

The in person event takes place as part of our Freedom Festival that includes pop-up, food, raffle, kids area, and more. The route is a flat route on roads through nice neighborhoods and along a trail next to a canal.

The virtual event can take place any where and any time during the month of September. You choose the time and location. It can be on a treadmill, through a park, in your neighborhood, along a trail, etc. This is a fun run so anyone can partcipate. We encourage people of all ages and fitness levels to join in the fun and go at your own pace.

All registered participants will receive a drawstring bag, t-shirt, and other goodies while supplies last. In person participants are eligible for awards for the overall fastest male and female as well as fastest male and female in each of our age categories.  

Packets will be mailed to virtual participants beginning at the end of August and soon after you register after that time. 

In person event participants can pick up their bags beginning at 8:00am on Sept 28. The run starts on the west side of the church at 8:30am. There is parking in the church parking lot at the location of the event and along the street in the neighborhood.  

The in person route is along E Tuolumne, Daubenberger, Canal, and Johnson Rd in Turlock.

After your run or walk there will be free water and healthy snacks near the finish line. We encourage you to stick around for the awards and check out the booths. If you want a larger meal after your run/walk there are also food and drinks available for purchase.
