The 6th Annual Running HOME for Jacob Event will be fully VIRTUAL again this year.

Dates: 10/11-10/22

Join us for our VIRTUAL 6th Annual Running HOME for Jacob Run/Walk event.

HOME stands for Hope for Our Missing and Exploited, and encompasses the belief that every day we do our work, we get a little bit closer to building a world that is worthy of its children.

For the second year in a row, Running HOME for Jacob is going VIRTUAL! Participants will have the opportunity to run or walk a 5K or 11K between 10/11/2021- 10/22/2021. October 11th represents the 11 positive traits that we try to live out in honor of Jacob, and Oct 22nd was the day he was taken from us in 1989.

Join us in a family friendly event to celebrate kids and support the mission of JWRC, a program of Zero Abuse Project. It is our goal to raise $50,000 this year. Thank you to all who choose to get involved!

Thank you for believing, as we do, that everyone has a role to play in keeping kids safe. Together, we can build a world where every child is free from abuse.

**T-shirts for those registered after September 15th are not guaranteed and will be shipped after the race. International runners will be asked to register as an international participant which adds $10 shipping to their race fee if needing a t-shirt or medal**
