Damascus Freedom 5K

We like to think that while there are a billion races out there, our Damascus Freedom 5K feels like none of them. Come on out and see for yourself.

The Vietnam War occured before many of us were born but make no mistake, the stories from that era are very, very important and there is so much for us to learn.  We have incredible heroes and history around us and don’t even know it, but sadly those numbers are dwindling.  I’m pleased to invite our Vietnam veterans to this year’s event and to announce that a portion of the event proceeds will go to support the efforts of The National Vietnam War Museum so that future generations can learn about that era.  Vietnam Vets: Please register HERE.

Two races: Damascus Freedom 5K + Kid’s Quarter Mile FREEdom Fun Run.  Participation in the Kid’s Quarter Mile FREEdom Fun Run and all kid’s activities are entirely free.

However this is MUCH more than just a race. There’s something for everyone (especially the kids!).

• Playground

• Music provided by K-Sef Entertainment

• Tons of food (including Jimmie Cone! J&P! Much more!)

• Balloon items for the kids made on the spot

• Oh yeah, and we have our 5K and kids races.

If you have a US flag that is in bad shape that you plan to discard, please bring it to the race. Flags collected at check in will be turned over to Damascus American Legion Post 171 where they will be retired in the proper manner with dignity and respect.
