Unlock the Ties That Bind 5K Run & Walk
The Unlock the Ties That Bind 5K Run & Walk is an empowerment and advocacy event organized by Going Into Pieces Movement Inc. It is scheduled for June 13, 2026 at Al Lopez Park in Tampa, FL. The event includes a 5K run and walk.
The event aims to support underserved and vulnerable populations, including men, human trafficking survivors, teen fathers, and people facing mental health challenges. It also generates support for a men's emotional well-being initiative called 3rd Eye Anchored.
Participants gather to symbolize resilience, healing, and the process of moving forward after adversity. The event emphasizes raising awareness that men can experience sexual assault, human trafficking, and other forms of abuse, and that these issues often receive less attention because of societal stigma, stereotypes, and misconceptions about masculinity. Many men face barriers to speaking out or seeking help due to fear of judgment or lack of resources.
Registration information is provided for prospective participants: registration opens on June 16, 2025 and closes on April 30, 2026. The event is free unless a participant requests a shirt or medal; a stated registration fee for those items is $20.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
