Blue Ridge Freedom 5K 2026

The 4th annual July 4th race is in the heart of downtown Blue Ridge. Check out Blue Ridge Sip and Play, a fun place to take your pup, or stop at Angry Hops Brewing for sampling or their brews. Show your bib at Angry Hops during the holiday week for a complementary beer sample. Sip and Play will have a doggie water station to keep our furry runners hydrated, plus mimosas and Bloody Marys after the race. Angry Hops will also be open for beers! Don't forget your red, white, and blue for the Most spirited runner awards. Kids under 10 get a discount, and walkers and dogs are welcome at the back for the Blue Ridge Freedom 5K!
