Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 AUSTIN/ROUNDROCK 2026

The Veterans Day Freedom Run in the Austin/Round Rock area begins at Richard Moya Park in Austin and takes place annually near Veterans Day. Participants can select a 1 mile, 5K, 10K, or half marathon, with a virtual option available for those unable to attend in person. The event is designed to be small, featuring capped waves instead of a large field, and all running paces are welcome. Individuals under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. The course map is distributed via email shortly before race day, meaning public information emphasizes the event's format over its terrain. This is a low-pressure run without timing chips; participants may use Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar apps to track their progress, or request assistance from coordinators. Registration covers a mailed shirt, race-day bib, finisher medal, a towel or giveaway item, a digital training pack, online results, and a completion certificate. Participants also have the option to fundraise for a charity of their choice, with all net proceeds directed to that organization.
