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 takes place on June 13, 2026 at Al Lopez Park in Tampa, Florida. The event features a 5K run/walk.
The event aims to support underserved and vulnerable populations, including men, survivors of human trafficking, teen fathers, and people facing mental health challenges. It also helps generate support for the organization’s men’s emotional well being initiative, 3rd Eye Anchored. Participants come together to symbolize resilience, healing, and the power of moving forward despite life’s obstacles.
The materials describe how men can experience sexual assault, trafficking, and other forms of abuse, and note that these issues often receive less attention because of stigma, stereotypes, and misconceptions about masculinity. Many men face barriers to speaking out or seeking help, including fear of judgment and lack of resources. Raising awareness is presented as important to ensure survivors of all genders receive support, protection, and justice.
Registration details note an opening date of June 16, 2025 and a closing date of May 31, 2026. A registration fee of $20 is listed, and the event is described as free unless a participant requests a shirt or medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
