US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

Freedom Run 5K + 1-Mile Run/Walk Benefiting Divergent Life Saturday, July 3, 2027 | Momentum Christian Church | McDonough, Georgia WE RUN FOR FREEDOM SO THEY CAN EXPERIENCE THEIRS. This Independence Day weekend, we’re putting freedom in motion. ROUTE: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/2339584936 Join us on Saturday, July 3, 2027, for the First Annual Freedom Run 5K + 1-Mile Run/Walk at Momentum Christian Church in McDonough, Georgia. Every year, our nation celebrates the freedom we enjoy and remembers those who sacrificed to make it possible. The Freedom Run was created around a simple idea: What if we used the freedom we celebrate to help someone else experience theirs? Thousands of miles away, in Jacó, Costa Rica, men, women, and children are affected by sexual exploitation and trafficking. Jacó is known around the world for its beautiful beaches and tourism—but behind that beauty is another story. For people caught in exploitation, leaving is rarely as simple as walking away. Poverty, lack of opportunity, broken relationships, fear, and the need to survive can make a different future seem impossible. Divergent Life exists to help change what comes next. Our mission: To bring hope, opportunity, and freedom to men, women, and children affected by exploitation and trafficking through the transforming power of love. We believe freedom requires more than escaping a situation. It means having real relationships, real opportunities, practical skills, mentoring, community, and a pathway toward sustainable employment and a different future. That is why we run. On the weekend America celebrates its freedom, runners and walkers in McDonough will take thousands of steps for people pursuing freedom of their own. Whether you race the 5K, walk it with friends, or bring the family for the 1-Mile Run/Walk, your miles become part of their story. HOPE • OPPORTUNITY • FREEDOM 🎉 Event Highlights 🇺🇸 Celebrate Freedom With Purpose Start your Independence Day weekend surrounded by runners, walkers, families, churches, businesses, and neighbors coming together for something bigger than a finish line. This is a celebration of the freedom we have—and an opportunity to help create a pathway toward freedom for someone else. 🏃 Race Options for Everyone Choose the distance that works for you: Freedom Run 5K Run/Walk 3.1 miles for runners and walkers of all ability levels. 1-Mile Run/Walk A family-friendly option for children, families, walkers, supporters, and anyone who wants to participate in the mission. You do not have to be a competitive runner to be part of the Freedom Run. Run it. Walk it. Bring somebody with you. 💝 Beneficiary — Divergent Life Proceeds from the Freedom Run benefit Divergent Life and its work with men, women, and children affected by exploitation and trafficking in and around Jacó, Costa Rica. Divergent Life walks alongside people as they begin building a future beyond exploitation through: REACH — Building relationships and meeting people where they are. CONNECT — Developing trust, community, mentorship, discipleship, and connections to resources. GROW — Creating pathways toward practical skills, education, employment, stability, and long-term freedom. We don't want someone simply to survive today.
