Freedom Marathon will host its first annual Freedom 8K Green Cove Springs, later this month near Jacksonville, FL. This event will take place over Memorial Day Weekend, May 28th - 30th, 2011. The race will be held in conjunction with the 23rd Annual Memorial Day Riverfest Celebration.

Local running hero Jeff Galloway is a member of the Freedom Marathon Leadership Team and has pledged to be in Green Cove Springs for the Riverfest activities. Proceeds from this race will support The Wounded Warrior Project as well as a to be determined local Green Cove Springs non-profit. This inaugural event will be the first of a 5-year partnership between Green Cove Springs and Freedom Marathon, Inc. Online registration is now open for this event at www.FreedomMarathon.org

This promises to be a fun filled weekend for family members of all ages. The weekend events will honor the men and women who served.

Thanks Freedom Marathon for all that you are doing for our veterans, and especially our wounded warriors.
