27th Annual Celebrate Freedom 5K Run/Walk and One Mile Fun Run
“A Hometown race with Hometown Hospitality”
Course:
The race starts and finishes at the Jay City Park. The course is scenic running through the neighboring countryside and looping around the local Jay Elementary and Jay High School campus. The last half of the course is run on a paved road that splits cotton and peanut fields on both sides. The course is basically flat and makes for fast times!

Overall Awards will be given to the Top Male/Female Open Runners, Master Runners, Grand Master Runners, and Senior Grand Master Runners. There will be awards for the Top 3 Male/Female Walkers and Wheelchair Participants in the 5K and Mile Runs.
T-shirts guaranteed to the first 100 runners who register.
