Free to Move: 5K Run for Alyssa
About
Alyssa's Free to Move 5k is a tribute to Alyssa Lokits, who was tragically taken from us on October 14, 2024, while running in Nashville, TN. Alyssa embodied vigilance and preparedness-- trained in self-defense, running during daylight on a well-traveled trail. Yet her loss serves as a sobering reminder of how far we have to go to ensure women's safety.
This event is more than a race-- it's a united call for change.
Free to Move is rooted in Alyssa's passion for advocating for women's empowerment and safety. By participating, you are helping us create a world where every woman can exercise with confidence, unburdened by fear.
Together, we raise awareness, promote groundbreaking safety initiatives, and inspire a global movement for lasting change.

Donate to Free to MoveFree to Move was founded in honor of Dr. Alyssa Lokits, a beloved advocate whose unwavering love for others, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to progress left a lasting impact. Alyssa was an active woman who loved running and holistic health, and she always believed in the importance of physical activity for both mind and body. Tragically, her life was taken in a senseless act of violence while she was simply out for a run, a place where she felt safe and free. Alyssa’s legacy lives on through our mission to foster a safer, stronger world for women, focusing on their safety, empowerment, and education. We are committed to carrying her vision forward by creating a community where women can be free to exercise, move, and live without fear.
