OPERATION: FREEDOM OCR 5K
— PRESENTED BY THE LAB -
BREAK CHAINS. BUILD HOPE.
Join us for Operation: Freedom, a high-energy, Spartan-style race hosted by The Lab—benefiting Beyond Trafficking, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting human trafficking and restoring lives.
This isn’t your average 5K. Over the course of 3 miles, participants will take on 10 unique obstacles, each designed to challenge your strength, grit, and determination. Think climbing, crawling, carrying, and conquering—every step pushing you forward in the fight for something bigger than yourself.
Whether you run solo or with a team, this event is about more than finishing strong. It’s about raising awareness, funding freedom, and standing up for those who can’t.
All proceeds go directly to Beyond Trafficking, supporting rescue missions, survivor rehabilitation, and educational outreach.
Every obstacle you conquer helps break the chains of human trafficking.
