From the Organizer
Freedom Day 5K+ is a spirited community run/walk held in celebration of Juneteenth and the ongoing journey toward freedom, wellness, and unity. This 5K+ invites participants of all ages and fitness levels to move with purpose—honoring the strength of those who came before us while embracing the power we each have to grow, thrive, and uplift one another.
Whether you run, jog, or walk, this event is about more than crossing a finish line. It’s about breaking through personal barriers, prioritizing health of the mind, body, and soul, and stepping into a greater sense of freedom. The course offers a welcoming and energetic atmosphere filled with community pride, encouragement, and celebration.
Join us as we come together to strengthen our homes, inspire our youth, and build healthier, more connected communities—one step at a time.
