Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:54:48 CDT
The registration deadline for the 13th Annual Freedom Fun Run is Wednesday, July 1st. The race begins at 7:30am this Saturday at Lake Lou Yaeger's Picnic Area 3. The course includes two water stops and a course marshal at each intersection. New this year, the race will be electronically timed by M&M Multisport Club. Litchfield Tourism Coordinator Sarah Waggoner says the race is a 5k run or walk.

"(I) definitely encourage individuals of most ages to come out - From young to old, there's definitely something for you. It should be a fun way to start Independence Day. We are allowing some open time in the morning around 7 o'clock for last minute (registration). The fee is slightly higher to register on that day."

Waggoner says registering by Wednesday will help with preparations and planning for things such as race bibs. The current registration fee is $20. The fee to register anytime after Wednesday will be $25. To register, go to the Visit Litchfield website here: 5k Registration Or call the Litchfield Tourism Office at 866-733-5833.
