🏃‍♀️ Event Overview

This is the sixth annual "Run For Her Life" virtual/in-person 5K, Half-Marathon, and Kid's Fun Run!

🌍 About the Initiative

The Phoenix Phase Initiative is an Iowa-based 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to helping women who have been sexually trafficked around the world. These women are rarely given a chance to escape and, when they do get the chance, they RUN for it!

Mission: The Phoenix Phase Initiative is there so they have a place to run to where they can be accepted, receive counseling, and learn job skills.
Goal: To help them break the cycle and create new lives for themselves and their children.
