Our Mission

Image

We run in the Path to Freedom 5K Obstacle Course Run to support Guardian Group’s vital mission to combat child sex trafficking in the United States. Every muddy crawl, rope climb, and tire flip fuels their Project 1591, which uses Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to identify victims and provide free analytical support to law enforcement, helping recover those trapped in exploitation. By tackling this challenging course, you’re taking a stand, raising funds, and breaking the chains of trafficking, one step at a time.

Providing free analytical information to law enforcement, helping investigations start stronger and move faster.

Community Action

Sector specific training to recognize and respond to sex trafficking.

Break Through the Challenges

Each obstacle symbolizes the barriers we’re breaking to free victims of trafficking. Test your limits for a cause!
