Welcome to the 2025 James W. Foley Freedom Run!
Conflict journalist and humanitarian James W. Foley was kidnapped by ISIS, held hostage, and brutally murdered in 2014. Jim embodied an unwavering commitment to press freedom. His work illuminated the life, dignity, and suffering of every individual, regardless of background or nationality.
In its 11th year, the Foley Freedom Run is a 5K Run/Walk held at the James W. Foley Community Center in Rochester, NH and at Anacostia Park in Washington, DC and with the option to participate virtually from anywhere else!
