ABOUT THE RACE
The Warriors for Freedom 5K Race is in memory of Lily Alyscia Ledbetter. Lily's dream was to graduate from Auburn University's School of Building Science. In 2022, Lily went to St. John, USVI for an internship with a local developer. Tragically, Lily's life was suddenly cut short while living in St. John. The circumstances surrounding Lily's death were linked to exploitation and possible trafficking, and the investigation is ongoing.
Join us on Saturday, April 18, 2026 at Sportsplex in Opelika for our second annual Worthy Squared- Warriors for Freedom 5K! Every step you take is for THEIR freedom! The 5K starts at 8:30AM.
At Worthy Squared, we believe that everyone deserves to be truly free. You can become a champion for change and run for freedom on April 18! The run is more than an event—it’s a rallying call to stand strong alongside survivors, advocating for dignity, freedom, and an end to trafficking...because she is WORTH it!
Our goal is to raise money for victim services and raise awareness of sex trafficking, happening right here in our Alabama communities.
