More than 1400 runners and walkers participated in the USATF-Certified and sanctioned event last year and it is a great jump-start to the Independence Day holiday. This year's highlights include free A4 Cooling Performance crew shirts for the first 1300 registered participants, medals for the top three registered runners in each running category, Chrono Track bib tag timing, and complimentary refreshments.
In keeping with its patriotic theme, runners, walkers and supporters of the Antioch Run for Freedom are asked to donate items for Adopt-A-Package , a VFW Ladies Auxiliary Post #4551 sponsored program that sends care packages to troops serving overseas. A drop-off site will be located at the event.
