About the RUN Liberty
The course starts and finishes at a college campus and winds through downtown Liberty along the way. It is a road race, so the surface is consistent, and the downtown stretch gives you storefronts and street-level scenery rather than trails or parks. Several distance options mean the course sees a wide spread of paces on race morning.
Parking near the start is limited, and the organizers strongly push the shuttle option. Buses run frequently from a nearby church, so that is the practical way in for most people. Inside the campus event center, you can check gear, pick up your packet, and warm up before the start.

RUN Liberty 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The RUN Liberty has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
