2022 Gonzaga Virtual Aruna Run

Gonzaga Virtual Aruna Run
#RUNforherfreedom

Aruna is an international human rights non-profit dedicated to creating lifelong freedom for survivors of human trafficking. The Aruna Run Race Series is the catalyst of the freedom process with 100% of registration fees and additional donations going to help free enslaved women. So grab some friends, lace up your shoes, and let's run together virtually for her freedom!

How it Works

1. Register online

2. Pick up your race swag at packet pickup

PACKET PICKUP:

DATE: Wednesday, April 20th
LOCATION: Hemmingson Center, 702 E. Desmet Ave, Spokane, WA 99202
TIME: 11am-2pm (main hall)

3. Complete your virtual 5K between April 17 - 23. You can track and submit your results using the ASICS Runkeeper App or manually upload your finishing time with GPS screenshot

4. Share photos from your run on social media using the hashtag #runforherfreedom

Group Run Option: If you'd like to complete the virtual run with other Gonzaga University students or Spokane local participants, there will be an informal group meetup on April 23 at 6:00 p.m. Meet at the front entrance of the Hemmingson Center and be ready to run for her freedom!

Race Swag Crafted in Freedom

Every registered participant receives a packable race bag and universal gator, both made by Aruna Artisans, and a signature race t-shirt. Your race bib will have Nisha's name on it-- you will run to help free her from a life of sexual slavery.

The Gonzaga Virtual Aruna Run is put on by volunteer Race Host Clare Wilmes and her team with Fair Trade & Environmental Justice. They are working in partnership with Zags Against Human Trafficking. Contact Clare at cwilmes@zagmail.gonzaga.edu.
