Freedom Isn't Free Run 5K

Freedom Isn't Free Run 5K takes place in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on November 14, 2026. The single 5K (3.1 miles) starts at 7:30 a.m., an early gun that has you finished and heading home well before the middle of the morning.

Early starts ask for some planning: set your gear out the night before, keep breakfast light and eat it a couple of hours ahead, and build in enough time for ten to fifteen minutes of jogging so your legs are awake at the line. As a distance, 3.1 miles is approachable enough for a first race and short enough that experienced runners can slot it in as a hard session. Start slightly slower than instinct suggests and you will finish stronger than most of the field.
