Freedoms Run Race Series

The Freedoms Run Race Series features two West Virginia race weekends: the Harper's Ferry Half & 5k in May and the Freedom's Run Event in October. The series offers a full marathon, half marathon, 10k, 5k, or a kids fun run, catering to marathoners, walkers, families, and those trying a shorter race for the first time. The Harpers Ferry races take place within Harpers Ferry National Park, with Civil War history adjacent to the course. Past participants describe the Freedom's Run half through Antietam as quiet and meaningful, particularly on damp, misty mornings when the battlefield setting is prominent. The series also generates funds for a community grant program supporting local health and community projects. Partner Two Rivers Treads contributes a minimalist-running perspective with its straightforward motto: "No pain...thank you."
