Freedom 5K Celebration @ Independence Bank

Note: Any registrations after June 16th are past the guaranteed shirt deadline. Shirts will be available on a first come first serve basis at packet pick-up for those who register after June 16. Before you go out to celebrate on the 4th of July... spend the morning getting some healthy exercise in a fun family environment! The 2nd Annual Freedom 5k at Independence Bank in Paducah KY, invites you to bring out the family to run, walk, ruck and cheer your way into the holiday! All participants will receive great patriotic race gear, and fun awards will be given out for overall and age group winners for the Run and Ruck divisions. All collected donations and a portion of race proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project (woundedwarriorproject.org). WWP creates and funds programs that help wounded veterans get back on track and become positive forces in their communities. Please help us reach our goal of $7000 to give just a little back to those who gave so much for us. This year's race will begin at 7am. Participants will gather in the Independence Bank parking lot on Buckner and Labelle Ave (Midtown Paducah, across from the Coke Plant) and head down Jefferson towards the flood wall. The course will turn on 17th street, and then left on Madison street. From there you will turn left onto Fountain Ave, and right on Jefferson street to return back the way you came. The start and finish line will be on Labelle Ave between the Coke Plant and Independence Bank.
