Together Against Trafficking 5k Walk/Run

Please join us for the Together Against Trafficking 5k Walk/Run presented by Leadership Cabarrus at Frank Liske Park. The course at Frank Liske provides a challenging yet accessible route for both experienced racers and new runners. The race date of March 30 is perfect for those who started a beginner 5k program in the new year and those looking to kick off their spring running calendar.

Did you know that North Carolina is one of the top 10 states in the US for human trafficking and that the Charlotte area is #1 in the state? There are more than 300,000 teenage victims of sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking each year in the United States and yet, only 600 beds are available for women who have faced this kind of abuse. Few Cabarrus County residents know about the troubling prevalence of human trafficking in our community and how it occurs. Proceeds from the race will go to Present Age Ministries, a nonprofit committed to combating the sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking of teen girls.
