Head to Springfield this July 4th, 2026, for the Freedom Run 5K/10K, a festive Independence Day celebration featuring two distance options that start and finish at Home Plate Bar & Grill. You'll run through familiar neighborhood streets (the same routes from last year's Iceman event) with clear directional coning for both courses, making it perfect for runners and walkers of all levels seeking either a competitive challenge or a fun holiday outing with loved ones. Your registration covers a participant t-shirt, finisher medal, age-group awards, professional timing, and a $5 food/drink coupon to enjoy at Home Plate after the race, where you can celebrate with fellow runners.
