Operation Underground Railroad, or O.U.R. is an organization which helps to liberate children enslaved in the sex trade industry, according to the organization. Using cutting-edge computer technology and human intelligence, O.U.R. undercover teams of former CIA and Special Ops personnel go into the darkest corners of the world to help local law enforcement liberate enslaved children and dismantle the criminal networks.
In less than a year, O.U.R. has liberated over 250 children and arrested numerous traffickers, according to the organization.
The 5K is USATF sanctioned, and there will also be a fun kid’s run, according to the organization. The after party is open to everyone, whether you run or not.
You can register for the race here.
