About the event
Palmetto Running Company proudly presents the 9th annual Hilton Head Freedom 5K run & walk, a patriotic celebration taking place on Memorial Day, May 27th, 2024, at the stunning Port Royal Plantation on Hilton Head Island. The Freedom 5K is a remarkable opportunity to pay tribute to those who have bravely served in the armed forces, all within the context of a fun and family-friendly event.

Join us in honoring our heroes as a portion of the race proceeds and 100% of all donations will be directed towards the Semper Fi & America's Fund, supporting those who have selflessly served our nation.
