Downs Freedom Run

Each year our race committee does our best to make our event better than it was last year! 

Just like 2022, we are planning to keep the 2023 party at the finish line and truly celebrate all of our participants!  We will finish the 5k and 1 mile walk course with a lap around the high school track, as in years past (prior to the school construction projects). 

New to the Downs Freedom Run? Enjoy one of the flattest 5k courses in the area, with a route that runs through our community with cheering spectators to greet you along the way. Get festive and be ready to have a fun morning - this is one you don’t want to miss! 

As always, any Downs Freedom Run proceeds are re-invested in the local community. Over the years we have installed a new drinking fountain/water bottle refill station at Dooley Park; provided grants to local, small businesses struggling from Covid-19 impacts; supported the Downs 4th of July celebration; as well as provided support for other causes that help our village. Proceeds from the 2023 race will go toward the Downs Fireworks as well as the Dooley Park Bathroom project.
