The Freedom Run 5k, is organized by Joe Moreno. He puts on an amazing series of races in the Quad Cities Area. I enjoy all the races I complete that Joe organizes. The race supports our military and veterans. You are able to get customized dog tags, a drawstring bag and t-shirt. The post race party is filled with beer, food and music. The course climbs a large hill within the first mile. The second and part of the 3rd mile is spent on top of the hill in neighborhoods. Then you fly down a large hill to the finish in the last mile.
