12th Annual Run For Liberty

Run, jog, walk, or roll in honor of our dedicated Military Personnel & Veterans. Deck yourself out in a patriotic costume and show off your American spirit! Prize will be awarded to the best dressed! Remember to register early, and we welcome all sponsors. Let’s get running!

This year, we are honored to donate all proceeds from the race go to the Amputee Coalition, the leading national organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by limb loss and limb difference. Through advocacy, education, and peer connections, the Amputee Coalition helps people navigate life after amputation and regain independence.

Access to the right resources and support can make all the difference in an amputee’s journey, and we are excited to contribute to their mission. We invite you to race with us—not just for the challenge, but to help make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
