Lace up for a race with a powerful purpose at the 30 For Freedom - Twin Cities event, taking place on Saturday, May 23, 2026, in Bloomington, MN. This inspiring event offers multiple distances—a challenging 30-mile ultra, a half marathon, 10K, and 5K—all dedicated to fighting against sex trafficking. Typical race day conditions in late May offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 73°F and lows near 54°F, and only a 16% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for runners of all levels.

The course for all distances is run on paved paths, featuring a flat out-and-back design that utilizes 5K loops around the Cedar Valley Church campus. For those tackling the 30-mile ultra, the route becomes a double out-and-back, ensuring a consistent and manageable terrain. While the race is not officially timed, participants are encouraged to observe all traffic laws, stop signs, and lights for safety. Aid stations are conveniently placed at each end of the lap route, providing support as you push towards your goal, with an early start option for 30-mile runners that includes one dedicated aid station.

Beyond the miles, the 30 For Freedom - Twin Cities is a community-driven experience focused on raising awareness and crucial funds for prevention, rescue, and survivor care programs globally. The start and finish lines, along with packet pickup and pre-run rally, are centrally located at the Cedar Valley Church youth building, which also provides access to restrooms for runners. Join fellow runners in this impactful event, building a community united by a shared purpose and making every stride count towards freedom.
