Independence Day 5K - Dekalb

Embrace your independence and holiday spirit this 4th of July! Grab your family and friends and hit the trail for this fun 5K. Dress to support the festivities. **The Independence Run is held on an original USATF certified course with chip timing.** Can't run? Walk! Walkers are allowed and encouraged! Participation awards will be given to racers that are pre-registered. Race bag pick-up will be on the day of the event only. Runners will be asked to submit their 5K time prior to race day and runners will be separated based on their timing, with the race starting at 7:30 am. There will be no award ceremony, however, participation medals will be awarded when runners finish. Congregating of any kind, including spectators or vendors, will be asked to socially distance throughout the park. Participants are again encouraged to dress in red, white, and blue. The fee to participate is $25 and the race bag includes a custom t-shirt, bib, and participation medal. Results and medals will be administered after the last runner returns, or no later than 10:00 AM and will be distributed electronically. **Guaranteed T-Shirt and Size Deadline - 11:59 pm, June 21st, 2021.** While the Independence Day 5K tries to match your size shirt, there are no guarantees. Please note there will be no personal item or bag check for this race. Water will be provided for runners too. We look forward to having you participate with us!
