About the Unlock the Ties That Bind 5K Run & Walk
The course runs through Al Lopez Park, a large urban park in Tampa with paved paths and open green space. The race carries real purpose behind it, organized by a group focused on advocacy for survivors of trafficking and abuse, particularly men, whose experiences often go unacknowledged. The atmosphere reflects that mission, drawing people who are there for something beyond the finish line.
