Organiser's description
Ready to become a champion for change, a warrior for freedom?! Join Worthy Squared on Saturday, April 26, 2025, for the first annual “Worthy Squared Warriors for Freedom 5K” as each step we take is for their freedom! This is a way for the community to stand strong alongside survivors, advocating for dignity, freedom, and an end to trafficking.
The Warriors for Freedom 5K is taking place at the Sportsplex located at 1001 Sportsplex Parkway, Opelika, AL 36801. The event will open with a fun 1-mile run at 8:00AM and the 5K race will kick off at 8:30AM.
Registration for the race as well as all additional race information can be found at:https://www.worthy2.org/warriorsforfreedom5k . 5K Registration is $25 through March 15, $35 from March 16– April 16, and $40 for Day of Registration. Registration for the 1-Mile Fun Run is $15 through April 16th and $20 from April 17th until race day.
The Warriors for Freedom 5K Race is in memory of Lily Alyscia Ledbetter. Lily's dream was to graduate from Auburn University's School of Building Science. In 2022, Lily went to St. John, USVI for an internship with a
local developer. Tragically, Lily's life was suddenly cut short while living in St. John. The circumstances surrounding Lily's death were linked to exploitation and possible trafficking, and the investigation is ongoing. The goal for the race is to raise money for victim services and raise awareness of sex trafficking, happening right here in our Alabama communities.
Worthy Squared (originally named Redeem AL) was established in 2018 and is dedicated to advocating for adult and minor females who have been exploited through commercial sex, or sex trafficking. Our mission is
two-fold and focuses on two strategic points: Prevention & Intervention. We believe that to eradicate commercial sexual exploitation, or sex trafficking, it is critical to prevent it from happening in the first place- to be proactive rather than reactive. We believe through education, awareness and training, it is possible to stop the grooming, and eventual sexual exploitation, of our children and youth. Our team compassionately guides and mentors survivors as they navigate exiting a life of exploitation and begin a new life of renewal and restoration. Our hope is that they find their true FREEDOM and the faith to dream again...because they are WORTH IT!
