Kick off your Independence Day celebrations with the Freedom Run 5k/10k & Fun Run on July 4, 2026, in Alpharetta, GA. This highly anticipated event offers distances for everyone, including a 1k Fun Run, a 5k (3 miles), and a challenging 10k (6 miles), making it a truly family-friendly and walker-friendly experience at Halcyon. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 90F and lows around 69F, along with a 17% chance of precipitation.
The race begins at the surface parking lot behind Cherry Street Brewpub at Halcyon, where ample free parking is available in the adjacent parking garage. While specific elevation details aren't extensively documented, past experiences suggest the course may include some rolling terrain with "a few long uphill parts and a sweet downhill". Runners will appreciate the aid stations, with the 5k course featuring one along the route and the 10k offering a water station at its turnaround point. Restrooms are conveniently located inside The Market Hall.
What truly sets the Freedom Run apart is its commitment to a meaningful cause; 100% of donations benefit Ainsley's Angels of America in North Georgia, an organization dedicated to enabling individuals with special needs to participate in races. The race fosters a vibrant atmosphere, often seeing runners in festive costumes, and is known for being well-organized. For those seeking a unique race experience or a chance to support a great charity, the Freedom Run offers a memorable way to celebrate freedom and community spirit.
