The foundation is proud to announce the Thirteenth annual Jailbreak Escape Urban Challenge Run, to be held Saturday, August 8, 2026.
For the past 13 years, the Jailbreak Race Series has raised over $100,000 to support professional law enforcement services in Lexington County. Building on our efforts to provide healthy and family-friendly activities for the people of the Midlands, we are holding the Jailbreak Escape Urban Challenge Run. The Jailbreak Escape Urban Challenge Run is a 3.1 mile run with obstacles and CrossFit-style exercises designed to challenge participants of all ages and fitness levels.
