Event summary
Get ready for an inspiring day of community spirit and philanthropy at the First Annual 5K Run/Walk Race for the Rescue on Saturday, October 7th, 2023, in Earlysville, Albemarle! This exciting event invites participants of all ages to lace up their shoes and hit the scenic course that once hosted the Earlysville 5K Turkey Trots. The race is not just about running or walking; it's a vital fundraising effort for Destiny Rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing children from sex trafficking around the world. Every dollar raised will contribute to this crucial cause, with just $1,500 needed to rescue one child in need.

Register by September 25th to guarantee your T-shirt size, and don't miss the bib and T-shirt pick-up on October 6th or race day morning. Together, we can make a significant impact and change lives, all while enjoying a healthy and uplifting event. Mark your calendars and be part of the fight to stop child trafficking—every step counts!
