Freedom's Run 5K & 10K

Our 5k & 10k courses explore the Civil War town of Shepherdstown and along the C&O Canal. Both courses are out and backs. Participants will leave Shepherdstown and cross the Potomac River on the James Rumsey Bridge. From there you'll run on the C&O Canal to the designated turn around point. The 10k goes up river while the 5k goes down river. You'll return on the Canal into Shepherdstown and the finish at the Ram's Stadium. This is a great relaxing course along the river for runners and walkers of all abilities. We especially love our young runners participating in this event.
