Description
The Unlock the Ties That Bind 5K Run & Walk is an empowerment and advocacy event organized by Going Into Pieces Movement Inc. It is presented as a 5K run and walk in Tampa, FL. Participants come together to symbolize resilience, healing, and the power of moving forward despite life’s obstacles.
The event aims to support underserved and vulnerable populations, including men, human trafficking survivors, 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. The event materials highlight that men can experience sexual assault, human trafficking, and other forms of abuse, and that stigma and misconceptions about masculinity can limit access to help.
A registration fee of $20 is listed; the organizer also notes the event is free unless participants request a shirt or medal. The focus of the event is awareness, advocacy, and creating spaces for healing and support for survivors regardless of gender. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
