On Saturday, October 15th, thousands of participants will “Run for Jim” in Rochester, NH, and around the world.

Globally, runners will once again participate in this one-of-a-kind road race to support the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation, in remembrance of Jim, a native of New Hampshire, and all Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms.

Now in its 8th year, the James W. Foley Freedom Run consists of a traditional 5K Run/Walk held in Rochester, NH, a 1.5 mile Run/Walk in Washington, DC, and a “Virtual” Run/Walk, held all over the world!

The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation invites you to share in Jim’s legacy and our mission: To advocate for the freedom of all Americans held hostage abroad and promote the safety of journalists worldwide.
