Join us for our 3rd Annual Freedom Fight in support of survivors of human trafficking! This year’s spooktacular challenge welcomes participants of all ages and abilities to run, walk, hop, skip, jump, or crawl their way to the finish line in support of this important cause.
Not only are we spreading awareness, but we're also fundraising for Lighthouse for Life, a nonprofit in Columbia, SC that supports survivors of human trafficking from our community. The money raised will directly help in their recovery and restoration. Let's make a difference together!
ABOUT LIGHTHOUSE FOR LIFE - https://lighthouseforlife.org/
At Lighthouse for Life, we walk alongside survivors of sex trafficking, helping to support and empower them through their restoration process.
Through speaking engagements, presentations, and training, we work to educate communities on what this modern day slavery looks like and equip everyday people to identify, report, and prevent human trafficking.
ABOUT F3 NATION - https://f3nation.com/ (for information about locations across the midlands, click here: https://www.f3midlands.com/)
F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Started in 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina, F3 is now in 48 states, on 5 continents, with more than 4,205 scheduled workouts a week through the volunteer efforts of men whose lives have been changed by their involvement with the group.
The three Fs in our name stand for Fitness, Fellowship and Faith — the last of which we define as not one specific religion or faith system, but simply a belief in something outside oneself.
Our workouts …
Are free of charge
Are open to all men
Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
End with a Circle of Trust
We welcome men of all fitness levels to our workouts and have no requirement for membership other than that you show up at the appointed time and place and follow what the workout leader (the “Q” in F3 lingo) does.
The F3 Credo is: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him.
