Freedom on the Square - Perry, OK
Freedom on the Square is a community race event held on June 27, 2026, in Perry, Oklahoma. The course starts in front of the Noble County YMCA at 107 N 7th St, Perry, OK 73077. The event is presented with support from Main Street Perry and benefits the Backpack Blessings program.
Racing options include:
- 5K
- 1 mile fun run
Entry fees are stated as $20 for the 5K and $10 for the 1 mile. Children 15 years and younger participate free with an adult entry but must be registered to take part. Each paid entry includes a T-shirt, and participants may purchase an additional shirt.
Proceeds from the event go to Backpack Blessings. That initiative by the First Presbyterian Church of Perry provides free school supplies to local students from Pre-K through 12th grade. The program is supported by community donations and allows families to select needed items for the school year.
Awards are given separately for male and female competitors. Overall awards recognize the top three finishers in each gender. Age-group awards are offered for both genders in these categories: 5 to 10, 11 to 15, 16 to 20, 21 to 30, 31 to 40, 41 to 50, 51 to 60, 61 to 70, and 71 and up.
