From the Organizer
The Morgan Hill Freedom Fest is proud to host the Veterans Day 5k & 10k and 1 mile children's Run to honor the men and women who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces of the United States. You will have the opportunity to walk and run with these honorable men and women during the race and express your appreciation for their service as you finish the course with them. We encourage participants to take a moment and say, “Thank you for what you’ve done!” Small gestures mean a lot to those who have sacrificed so much. All proceeds from the race will go to the Veteran organizations listed on our Partners page. We hope to see you there!
