George Freedom Days Run 2026

The race.

The George Freedom Days Run takes place July 4, 2026, in George, Iowa, featuring a 5K run/walk and a 1.25-mile walk option. Both events start and finish at Locker Park. The 5K route uses mostly the recreation trail with the first half mile on city streets, passing through residential areas, a campground, wooded sections, and fields. The 1.25-mile walk follows the north portion of the recreation trail and is untimed. All finishers receive a t-shirt and refreshments. Proceeds benefit improvements and maintenance of the trail system.
