About Freedom's Run
Freedom's Run is an event put on through the Freedom's Run Race Series. The Freedom's Run Race Series includes Harpers Ferry Half & 5K, the Freedom's Run event held in October, and Camp River Runners.
The Race Series is guided by Eastern West Virginia Area Health Education Center (AHEC), a nonprofit whose mission is service to the community. Proceeds from all Freedom's Run events are put toward the Freedom's Run Grant, a community grant program that promotes health and wellness throughout the nine-county service area of the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.
