Patrick Freeberg Memorial Scholarship 5K

The Patrick Freeberg Memorial Scholarship 5K is a run/walk held at North Shore Park on Point Avenue in Madison Lake, Minnesota, during Paddlefish Days weekend. The main 5K begins in the morning, with race-day check-in beforehand and a free Kids K held earlier for younger participants. The course is described by the organizers as challenging, featuring lake views around Madison Lake. The race honors Patrick Freeberg, a local athlete who was serving in the U.S. Navy when his life ended. Proceeds fund a scholarship for a Mankato East Cross Country runner.
