Description
The Independence Day 5K race is part of a larger initiative to promote an active and healthy lifestyle in the community. The Independence Day 5K is on Saturday, June 27th in Dungannon. The run begins at 8:00 a.m., with participants running on a dirt, gravel road which is at the foothills of the Clinch Mountain. The road is shaded by trees and the crisp clean air fills your lungs and creates a run you will not forget. We will have better signage this year for you to follow. We look forward to seeing everyone that was here last year and hope many more will come.
