VIRTUAL-9th Annual Freedom 5K Run/Walk in Memory of Spc. Robert Friese and all others who gave the ultimate sacrifice..

The 2020 Freedom 5K Run/Walk has been changed to a Virtual Run where participants will be able to submit their times online.  See below for more details. 

Prior to 2020, this event was an officially timed 3.1 mile run /walk held in memory of Spc. Robert Friese; and all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. This race has been held the last Saturday of every April, as this coincides with the anniversary date of Spc. Friese. Proceeds will go to Veterans Freedom Park

After much consideration it is with a heavy heart to announce that we have no choice but to change our 9th
Annual Freedom 5K to a Virtual Run. This is to be in compliance with CDC Recommendations,
due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.  It
is a great disappointment for us. We would like to ask you to consider that In the midst of such an
unprecedented time, one thing that is for certain is that we have an opportunity to still come together
for a cause-to remember a local young man and all others, who have given the ultimate sacrifice for the
freedoms that we continue to enjoy.

All registrants will be able to post their virtual run/walk times on the Results Page between April 18 and April 25 at 6 PM. 
If you have not registered for the 5K yet, you can still register online until April 25 to be a part of this event.
We plan to mail your race packets, shirts (if registered by April 10) and top finisher medals (if you place) to the address you
provided when you registered shortly after April 25.  The deadline to post times will be April 25 at 6 PM.  

Even though we can't gather together, we look forward to seeing you participate in our 9th Annual
(virtual) 5K. Let’s make this fun and encourage one another to prepare and participate for our event
regardless.
