12TH ANNUAL 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 12th year, the Freedom Run/Walk is held at the James W. Foley Community Center in Rochester, NH and at East Potomac Park in Washington, DC with the option to participate virtually from anywhere in the world!
