The Freedom Walk, a benefit for the Genesis Project, is Saturday in SeaTac.

Sign-in and registration begin at 10 a.m. at The Corridor, 2819 S. 208th St., SeaTac.

The 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) route takes walkers, joggers and runners north along Pacific Highway/International Boulevard, from 208th up to 184th, and then across the street and south back to 208th.

The run is expected to span 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Hamburgers and hot dogs will be served afterward for a suggested donation of $5, courtesy of Cafe Ohana. A portion of the proceeds will go toward the Genesis Project’s Drop In Center, where victims of sex trafficking receive shelter, food, love and resources.
