Freedom 5K and Run 9/11 Challenge

You know I’m all about taking on running challenges and this one helps support a great cause, and pays tribute to a tragic day. Run Local Events recently launched, a new site where a running community is soon to prosper. It’s a place where virtual runs will be organized (some for charity, some sponsored, some for the sake of having fun).

The Freedom 5K

First up is The Freedom 5K which you can run/walk at any time during the month of September. Pretty straight forward and you get a really nice medal.

Run Nine/Eleven

Next up is the 2-day challenge, Run Nine/Eleven. Run 9 miles one day, and 11 miles the next. Ideally, these would be done on back-to-back days, but the goal is to finish the miles and I don’t think anyone would knock you for spreading it out… I know I wont.

How to Participate

Registration for either event is $30. Both events can be done at anytime during the month of September. You can run alone, you can run with friends, you can even bring your dog. Every participant gets the medal shown above.
