Lace up your running shoes and kick off your Independence Day celebrations with the Liberty 5K & Fun Run in The Colony, Texas, on Saturday, July 4, 2026. This beloved annual event invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to experience a scenic journey through beautiful lakeside Stewart Creek Park and its picturesque shoreline trail, offering views of Lewisville Lake. Starting bright and early with the Fun Run at 7:30 AM and the 5K at 7:50 AM, participants can beat the typical July heat, which usually sees highs around 93F and lows near 74F, with an average 11% chance of precipitation.

As a cherished tradition hosted by the Knights of Columbus and The Colony Parks & Recreation Department, the Liberty 5K & Fun Run is more than just a race; it's a vibrant community celebration. Every participant crossing the finish line will receive a finisher medal, while 5K competitors also vie for trophies awarded to overall and masters winners, plus specialty medals for the top three in each age group. Younger runners (12 and under) in the Fun Run will also enjoy goody bags. Register early to secure your official race performance tee, available to the first 700 participants. The event is held at Stewart Creek Park, with convenient parking at Pecan Crossing and N Colony Blvd, and overflow at Ethridge Elementary.
