Description

Over the past seven years, more than 800 people from 34 states and 3 countries have laced up with us to shine a light on child sexual abuse and exploitation, and we’re just getting started! Hosted by The Starr Institute (TSI), the ReDiscover YOUR Light 5K Run+Walk is more than a race, it’s a movement. Together, we’re putting #preventioninmotion while creating a safe, empowering space for youth, families, and the community.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or just looking for a great way to give back and have fun, you belong here. This is a family-friendly event where everyone is welcome to move at their own pace and show their support.

Our 5K Run+Walk includes TWO ways to participate:

Virtual Race Week | October 26 – November 1, 2025

Complete your 3.1 miles from anywhere, your neighborhood, a local trail, or even a treadmill! Run or walk solo or with a crew. Just choose your route and do your 5K, your way.

In-Person Event | Saturday, November 1, 2025

Join us bright and early at Miramar Regional Park for our community celebration of hope and healing!

Registration opens at 6 AM | Race kickoff at 7 AM
First 100 in-person finishers receive a commemorative medal!
Register by September 30, 2025 to guarantee your race shirt.

Our goal this year? Add 3 new states and 1 country. Let’s make it happen!
