About the Freedom Fun Run (5K & 10K) + 1 mile run for kids
The courses start and finish at Brophy Park, threading past a couple of lakes and through rolling terrain on the park's bike trails. It is not flat running; the hills are a genuine part of the experience. The surroundings are pretty, with water visible at several points along the way.
Registration and packet pickup both happen at the Brophy Pavilion, which has indoor bathrooms on site. Packet pickup is offered the evening before or early on race morning. A local YMCA is nearby if you need a shower after.
