This is the sixth annual “Run For Her Life” virtual\/in-person 5K, Half-Marathon, and Kid’s Fun Run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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! The Phoenix Phase Initiative is there so they have a place to run to<\/em> where they can be accepted, receive counseling, and learn job skills so they can break the cycle and create new lives for themselves and their children. (Learn more at www.phoenixphaseinitiative.org<\/a> or check out our video at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YNKERTiN0Fw<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Help us help them by RUNNING with them toward freedom, restoration, and a life free of pain and fear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The in-person race will have LIVE MUSIC, a FREE beer from Gezellig Brewing Company (or craft soda), and a food truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To be guaranteed a shirt the day of the run, PLEASE sign up by April 6, 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note: Runners\/walkers who sign up after April 6, 2026 WILL receive a shirt, but it will likely NOT be available the day before or the day of the race! They will be made after April 25 and distributed as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will be an open course, but there will be police presence and volunteers directing traffic at the major intersections. Please follow all traffic laws!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":227,"template":"","distance":[55,697],"city":[260],"state":[52],"event-type":[54],"years":[28,687,738,860,947,1416],"month":[42],"class_list":["post-364603","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry","distance-5k","distance-half-marathon","city-newton","state-iowa","event-type-road-race","years-28","years-687","years-738","years-860","years-947","years-1416","month-april"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/364603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"distance","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distance?post=364603"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=364603"},{"taxonomy":"state","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/state?post=364603"},{"taxonomy":"event-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-type?post=364603"},{"taxonomy":"years","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/years?post=364603"},{"taxonomy":"month","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fitnesssports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/month?post=364603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
