Event overview
The Freed to Run Challenge 5K takes place on Sunday, November 23, 2025, in Jacksonville, FL. The event is based at the Duval County Courthouse area, with the listed venue address 501 W Adams St, Jacksonville, FL 32202. The Freed to Run weekend includes additional challenges such as 12-hour and 24-hour events, a relay, and a bike ride; the 5K is one of the race-day offerings.
Course and purpose
The 5K uses a looped course circling the courthouse grounds. Each loop is 1/2 mile, so participants complete ten laps to cover the 5K distance. The course is described as flat and spectator-friendly. Proceeds from the event benefit Jacksonville Area Legal Aid’s Shelter for Elders Endowment, which provides housing-related legal assistance for low-income seniors, including eviction defense, reverse mortgage fraud prevention, scam prevention, and disputes over home conditions. A finish line celebration is held on the lawn of the Duval County Courthouse where participants from the Freed to Run events gather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
