11th 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!

We are thrilled to announce that, for the second year in a row, we will be donating all profits directly to The Move for Jenn Foundation. This foundation offers grants in the form of activewear prosthetics to individuals who have lost a limb to sarcoma or other affiliated diseases. Since these sports prosthetics are not considered medically necessary by most insurance companies, this foundation acts as a bridge, enabling amputees to return to the physical activities they enjoyed prior to amputation. We are proud to support such a noble (and NC local!) cause and hope that this initiative will make a positive difference in someone’s life.

The trail at Wake Med Soccer Park has a running surface with grass and gravel and follows a partially shaded trail through a wooded area. A water station will be at the halfway point. The 1-Mile Fun Run starts at 8:00am and the 5k starts at 8:30am. This is a sanctioned USA Track & Field event with chip timing provided. See map here.

All runners are welcome, amputees race free! 5k registration is $35. Teams of four or more get a $5 discount per runner. 1-Mile Fun Run registration is $20. T-shirts are included in registration fee (T-shirt not guaranteed for registrations after 6/5/24). A late fee of $5 applies for any registrations after 6/22/24. Register Online 

Medals will be awarded in the 5k to the top 3 males overall, top 3 females overall and top 3 amputees as well as to the top finishers, both male and female, in the following age categories: 11-under,12-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-over.

Can I run with headphones? 
Yes, though it is recommended that you are aware of your surroundings for your own safety. 
 
Do I need any water? 
We have a water stop and extra water bottles for runners.  We recommend you bring extra water for you and your guests to make sure you are comfortable and hydrated. We have some shade structures as well.
 
Can I use a stroller, walker or wheel chair? 
Yes. The course, however, is not paved. It is graded grass and gravel/dirt with mild elevation changes. We have had runners push strollers in the past. This is up to your judgment.
