William R, Gaines Jr Freedom Run 5K

About the Event

Join us for one of the last 5k's of the year and let's leave 2024 in the dust! The race will start and end at the William R. Gaines Jr. Veterans Memorial Park. All proceeds will go toward the William R. Gaines Jr. Veterans Memorial Fund.

The run will start in the park beginning at the sixty foot American flag pole. Attendees will be surrounded by memorials dedicated to our Military & First Responders, and a Gold Star Families Marker. Runners will make their way past athletic courts, as well as a Military themed playground and the Charlotte County Liberty Tree, on their way to the scenic Port Charlotte
Beach. The runners will follow their way back to the park for refreshments and the announcements of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd winners by age category.

This is a chance for the whole family to bring in the New Year. Runners will receive military green Freedom Run t-shirts, and dog tag shaped medals for the top runners in various age categories.
