The Virtual Freedom Run Declaration
We are the in the fourth year of running with our freedom. Don't miss this run challenge.
Patriots prepare to run your FREEDOM off! This year's Freedom Run has sweet swag and always a challenging good time!
1776 is remembered for our founding fathers and we will take our own signature [runs] to log 177.6 kilometers (110.35 miles) over a 32 day period. Hammer the gavel and sign-up for the virtual Freedom Run that pushes you to get miles and join the virtual, social camaraderie that runners across the nation partake in.
Run with your American swagger and prepare to bring Independence Day celebrations in style by challenging yourself with friends to complete 177.6 kilometers (110.35 miles) starting June 2 through July 5, 2023. Are you up to getting the miles? It averages out to about 3.45 miles per day. That's right, it's what this total distance averages out to be. You can get your total of 177.6K by any combination of walking/jogging/running from June 3 through July 5, 2023 (i.e. run 3 miles today, 7 miles the next, and off the following day). The experience of this virtual event is to challenge yourself and join the social camaraderie with other runners.
What's the swagger??? An awesome, custom Freedom Run beach towel.
We will post on our social media pages and via email and social group runs that will help you gain miles if you live near Carrollton, GA! We want to offer gatherings to meet other runners and the community of great running spaces. At each run you can choose your distance. We encourage you to pick a distance and run FREE (without a watch or tracking device). Run to enjoy your surroundings, enjoy the company, and enjoy your FREEDOM! Bring your children and pets. They are all welcome!

FAQS
How do I log my exercise?
Three options to submit your mileage! Easy, Easier, Easiest!
1. Choose to submit via our webform: HERE.
You can backlog your distance for the last five days in the same way with the form. See above in #1.
Do I have to run/walk in a designated area?
No, you have the FREEDOM to run where you are! The location does not affect you accumulating your mileage.
Can I use my pre-workout run at the gym in my total?
Yes, this is considered PURPOSEFUL walk/jog/run for being active. Purposeful is walking/jogging/hiking/running with the intent that you are tracking your distance as exercise. You can log them by choosing which way works best for you.
What if I submit my mileage in the morning but get another mile or extra distance later? How do I log this?
Add your total distance for the day and submit that distance. If you already logged and you need to correct it just submit again. We will use your last logged amount as the total for the date you submitted.
What if I miss a day in logging?
No problem! We can take a backlog of up to five days. Just submit those by date.
Is there an award?
This event is your effort to complete the 177.6k and the award is your celebration of completion. No medals are offered. This is noted during registration.
