Harry Corrow Freedom Run

Harry Corrow Freedom Run is held on July 2, 2027, in Newport, Vermont, alongside the town's Fourth of July celebrations. The half marathon (13.1 mi) and a two-mile run at Bluffside Farm both start at 8:30 a.m., with a ten-miler, a 10K and a 5K also on the program, run on bike paths and wooded trails.

Mixed surfaces — sealed path in places, trail in others — ask for a shoe that compromises rather than one that specialises: something with a little grip and a little cushioning rather than a racing flat. On a holiday weekend course like this, the field is broad and the atmosphere carries you, so set your target by effort and let the crowd do the rest.
