Running HOME stands for "Hope for Our Missing and Exploited Children." It is so powerful when we see families walk, run, or roll to support searching families and those who have lived through exploitation and abuse. It sends a message that we don’t forget about the missing and that everyone has a right to be safe. This will be the first time that the race will be virtual or in-person.

11 represents the #11forJacob, and Oct 22nd was the day Jacob was taken from us in 1989. Join us in a family-friendly event to celebrate kids and support the missing of JWRC, a program of Zero Abuse Project.
Patty Wetterling and co-author Joy Baker will be available before and after this year’s race at Lake Phelan to sign copies of Patty’s new memoir, Dear Jacob: A Mother’s Journey of Hope.” Copies of the book will be available for purchase, three days ahead of the official October 17 release date.
