It’s in our community, it’s highly likely that it affects a child or an adult that you know. Sexual Abuse. Affecting 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys by the time they reach 18 years of age. A statistic that's reached from only the 38% that disclose. The problem is bigger than we realize.

Join us as survivors and supporters as we empower our community to breakthrough ALL of the statistics associated with the epidemic of child sexual abuse. Awareness = prevention. We're bringing awareness through conversation, education, and adult survivor stories.


We're reaching survivors who've stayed alone and unhealed because of their secret. We're reaching all of the community to talk to their children. For 2024 we're FLippInG the ScRIpt on the epidemic of child sexual abuse, you won't want to miss the pre-race message.

The community of supporters will go on to run or walk the race and make it to their own celebrated finish lines.

We invite you to be a part of the change as supporters or survivors of all paces. Walkers are welcome!

*For those who are bringing children, the speaker prior to the run will discuss sexual abuse issues. Rain or shine, no refunds available for this event.
