About this race
2024...the year of the Great American ECLIPSE! Not to be eclipsed, however, is DeGray Lake Resort State Park's 9th annual 4th of July Freedom 5k/10k Fun Run!
Make plans to celebrate our sweet land of liberty with friends and family this Independence Day at Arkansas's only resort state park! Join us at the starting line in your most patriotic outfit to run, walk, or march the 3.1 mile course (5k), or make mom and 'Merica proud by taking on our 6.2 mile (10k) course. Runners and walkers alike are sure to enjoy scenic lake views and shaded forest trails along our unique, mixed surface courses. The 5k is an even split between single track trail (1.5 miles) and pavement (1.6 miles). The 10k course covers the same distance of single track trail (1.5 miles) with an extended pavement portion (4.7 miles) that parades runners all the way down to the park's Caddo Bend peninsula for some beautiful lake views and a welcome breeze coming off the water. All ages and abilities are welcome!
