The North Carolina 4th of July Festival Freedom Run
The North Carolina 4th of July Festival Freedom Run is a community sports event held in Southport, North Carolina. The event takes place at the Southport Waterfront Park and features courses that transition through the downtown area and local residential neighborhoods. Participants move along the waterfront, providing views of the coastal scenery during the race.
The event offers two distinct distances for participants:
- 5 km Run/Walk
- 1 mile Run/Walk
The 5 km distance follows a route through the historic and picturesque areas of downtown Southport. The 1 mile option is available as a shorter alternative. Registration for the event typically opens in February or March, with the 1 mile walk offered at no cost to participants. The event is part of the larger regional 4th of July festival celebrations. Facilities such as designated parking areas and course maps are provided for participants, and volunteers assist in the coordination of the races.
