Essence Of Freedom Run 5K/10K

Community event. Fun for the whole family!

The 2016 Essence of Freedom Run 5k/10k, Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, 2016 on the streets of Deerfield, Illinois. Civilian participants will be privileged and proud to run alongside military servicemen and women - an opportunity that is rare and exciting!

Come out to help us send a message to our military men and women that we have not forgotten what Memorial Day is all about and we wanted to say “Thank You”!

This is an annual event to raise funds that are desperately needed by the brave men and women, both active duty and Veterans, who defend our country by serving in the armed forces. Proceeds for this event will go to Lake County Veterans. Register as Individuals or teams. Chip timed. Active duty run FREE (includes police & fire) but must be registered to get chip and goodie bag with t-shirt.

RUN - WALK - CHEER - VOLUNTEER! REGISTER TODAY.
