Freedom 5K Run/Walk in Memory of Spc. Robert Friese 2027

The Freedom 5K Run/Walk is a timed 3.1-mile run/walk held on the last Saturday of April. It honors Spc. Robert Friese, with the timing linked to the anniversary of his death in service. The event also remembers others who gave their lives in military service, giving it a memorial purpose beyond a typical local 5K. Proceeds support Veterans Freedom Park. Runners and walkers cover the same distance in a community event focused on remembrance and support for veterans.
