Run with Lily 5K

The Run with Lily 5K & Kids Superhero Run is an annual event held at Freedom Park in Liberty, North Carolina, with a virtual option available. The 5K race and a 1-mile Kids Superhero Run invite participants of all ages to honor the memory of Lily Butler, a talented high school runner who passed away from an eating disorder. The event promotes mental health awareness and supports The Oaks Therapeutic Community by raising funds for counseling services.

The atmosphere is inspiring and community-focused, encouraging teams from schools, workplaces, and churches to join. Kids are encouraged to wear superhero costumes, adding a fun and uplifting element to the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
