About the 15th Annual Freedom Run/Walk 5k - Bigfork
The course starts in front of a local bakery, winds through the back of town, and heads out to the Bigfork Nature Trail for an out-and-back through the trees. There is a water station at the turnaround. The race wraps up before the town parade rolls through.
Check-in is at the bakery before the start. The race benefits scholarships for children of fallen Montana military members, organized through the local Rotary Club. Cookies are waiting at the finish line.
