Run for Freedom

Annual 5K Your Way Event

October 4 – 19, 2025

Run for Freedom is an annual 5K walk/run event that is one of the ways that we finance the work of Peace Promise and our survivors. We encourage participants to create a “team” of friends, co-workers, or family to run or walk with. Participants may run/walk together on their own, or attend our in-person event.

Join us at our in-person event on October 4 in Camp Hill.
Or, choose another time for your team to complete the run.

The Run for Freedom is one of our two yearly fundraising events that fund the work of supporting survivors. Donor support ensures that the women we support have access to everything that they need to begin to heal from the physical, and emotional pain that has entrapped them in exploitation. Funding provides access to life skills training, financial management, coaching, housing, and support services to learn to believe in themselves and gain the skills needed to take steps to transition out of exploitation. Your support provides for educational resources, counseling services, transitional housing support, legal support, and ongoing care as they embrace new lives.

Registration is completely free. Instead, we hope that our participants and their teams will partner with us in fundraising and share their team page with friends and family, not just to seek donations but to help us educate our community about the exploitation that is happening right here in our own backyard. In lieu of registration costs, we instead ask that each participant seek a minimum of $20 in donations to offset the cost of the t-shirt and administrative costs. 

First, make sure you register by September 25. Second, shirts will be available October 4. If you are attending the in-person event on October 4, your shirt will be waiting for you there. If you are running separately, team leaders are responsible for t-shirt pick-up for their teams and can do so either by stopping by the October 4 event, visiting Good Ground Coffee during normal business hours any time after October 4, or by contacting runforfreedom@peacepromise.org to make other arrangements.

Nope! Many of our longstanding teams have come to love having Run for Freedom gatherings of their own and we are excited that this has become a tradition for them. (And we are grateful for the continued support!) If you don’t want to join us October 4, you can sign up as a team and complete your walk or run at a date and time of your choosing through October 19. (And we love when teams who are walking or running separately send us photos to share!!)

Absolutely! We love our furry friends! Seibert Park has asked that we keep them off of the track itself (which we will use for the final lap of the run). But there are plenty of pet-friendly areas both within the race route and surrounding area and they are very welcome to join us (especially if it means we get to pet them).
