The 2027 5K starts at 9 am, April 24 at the West Lafayette Wellness Center. The race is chip timed and the 5K route is certified. All proceeds from the race go to International Justice Mission (IJM), a non-profit organization that is actively pursuing an end to slavery all across the globe.

10K Update: Due to the incredible growth of Run for Justice, we will not be offering a 10K race in 2027. Because the 10K course doubles back through the 5K route, increasing congestion has created safety concerns for runners — but we hope to bring the 10K back in the future as trail systems in West Lafayette continue to expand. In the meantime, we hope our 10K runners will still join us for the 5K as we continue running together for justice.

Join us on Saturday, April 24th for the 18th annual Run for Justice 5K race!

Online registration closes 11 pm on April 21. In-person registration is available on race day. Those who register by April 14 will receive a free t-shirt with registration. Click here to view our registration details.

International Justice Mission is a non-profit organization that is actively pursuing an end to slavery all across the globe. Learn more about the IJM, human trafficking, and how you can make changes in the way you shop to make a difference.

All sponsorship money goes directly to International Justice Mission and their fight to end modern day slavery. Whether it’s a family sponsorship for $100 or one of our business sponsorships, every dollar makes a difference. Sponsorship comes with varying levels of publicity on race day materials.
