From the Organizer
The Eau Freedom Fun Run & Fest is a family-friendly summer event to raise awareness and funds for the work of Fierce Freedom. Fierce Freedom is a 501c3 organization dedicated to protecting and empowering young people and vulnerable individuals in our community, facilitating collective impact to end the cycle of human trafficking.
Eau Freedom's fun run/walk component (2-mile in-park loop), requires registration. Our fun run course opens at 5:00 pm and closes at 7:00 pm, allowing participants to run/walk as many loops as possible before 7:00 pm. Other activities at the festival includes food trucks, music, prizes, children's activities, a Fierce Friends area highlighting like-minded organizations committed to investing worth and dignity into our youth and community, a Fierce Freedom education tent, and a special program at 7:00 pm featuring The Jam.
Deadline for t-shirt guarantee is NOON on June 24th!

At Fierce Freedom, our mission is to end the cycle of human trafficking and exploitation through educational programming and speaks to the worth and dignity of each individual.
We educate the public about the fact that human trafficking isn’t just something that happens only in overseas third-world countries or in large cities. This crime against the most vulnerable among us occurs right here in the United States, right here in the Midwest, right here in rural Wisconsin. By educating the public, law enforcement, politicians and others about human trafficking, Fierce Freedom will continue to help reduce this horrific crime. We believe in a world free from sex trafficking and exploitation.
The Eau Freedom Fun Run & Fest is made possible by our generous Sponsors! Thank you!
