The community is invited to lace up their running shoes and celebrate Independence Day at the 15th Annual Freedom 5K on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in Gowrie.
The 5K run/walk will begin at 7:30 a.m. and features a 3.1-mile course around Gowrie. Registration will open at 6:30 a.m. at the Southeast Valley High School Football Field, located at 1202 Beek Street in Gowrie. Participants are encouraged to arrive early and complete registration forms well before the race begins. Registration is available on race day only, with no pre-registration offered.
Instead of a traditional entry fee, participants are asked to make a freewill monetary donation to The Community Pantry, with checks made payable to G3G, or donate non-perishable food and personal care items. Suggested donations include peanut butter, jelly, canned fruit, helper meals, pork and beans, Kleenex, shampoo, conditioner, liquid body wash, and toothpaste.
Due to ongoing construction, the race route may be adjusted as needed. However, both the start and finish lines will remain at the Southeast Valley High School Football Field. Participants are encouraged to follow the Gowrie Freedom 5K page for route updates and additional event information.

Join friends, family, and neighbors for a fun and active way to kick off the Fourth of July while supporting The Community Pantry and helping make a difference in the community.
