Marine Corps Run for Freedom 5K
The Marine Corps Run for Freedom is a 5K event held on May 16, 2026 in Freehold Township, New Jersey. The course is a loop that starts and ends at iPlay America, follows wide streets, and is described as relatively flat. The course is certified by USATF and chip timed.
Multiple participation options are offered for the same distance of 5K (3.1 miles): run, walk, ruck, a veterans only division limited to active duty military personnel and veterans, and a virtual entry. Virtual participants are noted as not receiving a shirt or awards.
Proceeds from the event support the Marine Raiders Foundation, the Semper Fi Fund, and the Philip A. Reynolds Marine Corps League Detachment. Awards are available for first through third place in each age group for runners. A custom Marine Corps commemorative run shirt and a finisher medal are provided for in person participants. The event specifies that no dogs are permitted except service dogs, and that the event is held rain or shine with no refunds. A beer will be available at the on site bar after the event.
Registration details in the event materials include opening and closing dates and listed entry amounts; some materials list an entry fee of $25 while other notes state a $35 price that increases to $45 on May 1 with a race day price of $45.
