Freedom Fighter 5K

The Freedom Fighter 5K & Lil' Firecracker Kids Dash is an annual, family-friendly running event held in Tyler, Texas, at Bergfeld Park. Celebrated on the Fourth of July, it features a patriotic 5K Run/Walk for participants aged 13 and older, a youth 5K for ages 12 and under, and a Lil' Firecracker Kids Dash for children 10 and under. The event emphasizes fitness, fun, and philanthropy, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Operation True North.

Participants receive commemorative shirts, finisher medals, custom race bibs, chip timing, and sponsor freebies. The non-competitive race fosters community spirit and honors freedom in a festive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
