14th Annual Celebrate Freedom 5K
It’s almost the 4th of July and it’s time to celebrate. The 14th Annual Celebrate Freedom 5K and One Mile Fun Run will kick off on Thursday morning at 8:00am. Registration is being taken for the event and you can also sign up on the day of the race. The fee to run is $25.00 ($10.00 for the One Mile only)and this includes a colorful t-shirt and all the watermelon you can eat! Other refreshments will be available for participants after the race.
The race starts and finishes at the Jay City Park. The course is scenic running through the neighboring countryside and looping around the local Jay Elementary and Jay High School campus. The last half of the course is run on a paved road that splits cotton and peanut fields on both sides. The course is basically flat and makes for fast times!
Trophies will be awarded to the Top 3 Finishers in each of 32 age groups! Overall Awards will be given to the Top Male/Female Open Runners, Master Runners, Grand Master Runners, and Senior Grand Master Runners. There will be awards for the Top 3 Male/Female Walkers and Wheelchair Participants in the 5K and Mile Runs. T-shirts guaranteed to the first 60 runners who register.
