Freedom Run
About this race
Celebrate Independence Day at the Fresno Freedom Run this July 4th as we mark the 250th anniversary of our nation! Start your holiday with a memorable run or walk along an American flag–lined course, surrounded by community spirit and patriotic pride.
The event features a 4-mile run/walk, a 2-mile run/walk, and a fun Kids Run to kick off the morning’s festivities, making it the perfect way for runners, walkers, and families of all ages to participate.
Participants will receive a participant shirt, chip timing, post-race snacks, and a newly designed commemorative finisher medal (design coming in April). Most importantly, your participation helps support Central Valley Honor Flight, an organization dedicated to honoring local World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans by sending them to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor.
Gather your friends and family and start your Fourth of July with a run that celebrates freedom, community, and those who served.
