HI EVERYONE ...Hope you had a good time at the Freedom 5K last year.
We strive to make your experience and the race itself the best it can be....
2010's version promises to be better...
We are in the process of procuring a timing system, which will employ either disposable shoe chips or be incorporated into your race bib...
Experienced runners/walkers know...this system results in quicker, more accurate results.
It's not carved in stone yet...but we're working on it, SO, registration is not yet available until this decision is made....keep checking back!!
2009 results:
It is the honor of the SSS Freedom 5K to recognize all men & women who are or have served in our country's armed forces in all conflicts all over the world. They have earned our deepest gratitude for their bravery and sacrifice to keeping this great country free. |
