The Sully Freedom Fun Run/Walk is an annual event that takes place in Sully on July 4, 2026 marking the 31st year. There is a 1 mile and 5k race through the relatively flat and tree lined streets of Sully. There is also a free kids race for those 8 years and younger. In the 1 mile race, plaques are awarded to the overall male and female winners. In the 5k race, the top 3 males and top 3 females receive plaques, while the top 3 finishers in 11 different age categories receive medals. We encourage runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to participate in our event. T-SHIRT IS GUARANTEED WHEN REGISTERED BY JUNE 14. After June 14 registration, t-shirts will be on a first-come, first-serve basis with t-shirt and sizes not guaranteed. Participants are encouraged to park at Sully Reformed Church on race day.
