9th Annual ReDiscover YOUR Light 5K Run+Walk

Over the past eight years, 900 people from 34 states and 3 countries have laced up with us to shine a light on child sexual abuse and exploitation, and we’re just getting started!

Hosted by The Starr Institute (TSI), the ReDiscover YOUR Light 5K Run+Walk is more than a race, it’s a movement. Together, we’re putting #preventioninmotion while creating a safe, empowering space for youth, families, and the community.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or just looking for a great way to give back and have fun, you belong here. This is a family-friendly event where everyone is welcome to move at their own pace and show their support.

Our 5K Run+Walk includes TWO ways to participate:

Virtual Race Week - October 26 – November 1, 2025 - Complete your 3.1 miles from anywhere, your neighborhood, a local trail, or even a treadmill! Run or walk solo or with a crew.
