H.E.R.O. Freedom Run

🏃‍♂️ H.E.R.O. Freedom Run

Join us for the third Annual H.E.R.O Freedom Run featuring a 1-mile fun run and 5k run/walk on the beautiful cross-country course now being held onsite at Freedom River in Hamburg Township (Down the road from the Hamburg Family Fun Fest). We will kick off with a 1-mile fun run at 8:30am and our 5K run/walk at 9am on a cross-country style course. The funds raised for this event will go toward building a HERO picnic refuge nestled among the trees near Gill Lake at Freedom River. Freedom River is an outdoor recreation facility for veterans and their families to relax, recover, and rejuvenate.
