George Freedom Days Run

Join us for a 5k Fun Run/Walk that shows off the Recreation trail in and around George, IA.  The start and finish are located in beautiful Locker Park.  Proceeds go to the improvement and maintenance of the trail system. Majority of route is on the city trail with only the first half mile on city streets. The run is on a mostly flat course with a few minor hills. Enjoy the scenery as you run on the trail through residential housing, campground, wooded area, and fields. 

For those that do not want to run, we do offer a 1.25 mile (Approximate length) untimed leisurely walk. This event will start with those participating in the 5K, but will veer off and participants will then walk the north portion of the George Recreational Trail and finish at the 5k finish line. This event is for those who don't want to run/walk the entire 5K but still want to enjoy the Freedom Day Fun Run/Walk. The walk will NOT be timed but finishers will still receive a t-shirt and refreshments. 

Join fellow runners on July 4, 2026 for the George Freedom Days Run. It's a fantastic 5K, 2K featuring a flat and fast course in George.
