Freedom Run - East Moline, Illinois - Running

The Freedom Run is a Running race in East Moline, Illinois consisting of a 10K and 5 Miles.

What started out as a dream and a desire to help the Quad Cities area's Veteran and active duty Military and their families became a reality. Come out and give something back to your Military and their families - They've all given so much to us. You don't have to run. You can watch, you can cheer, you can sponsor and you can volunteer! However you decide to participate, you're going to have fun!

We are honored to have your support! Whether you're a participant, running, walking, pushing a stroller, a sponsor, a spectator, a neighbor out on the course, a volunteer, it's all support and appreciation for our men and women serving (or served) in our Armed Forces.

From the cannon used as a starter's pistol to the dog-tag medals the soldiers will place around the participants necks at the finish line, this unique event is military from start to finish. The WWII Army jeep as the pace car, the various military vehicles throughout the course, the 100+ American flags lining the course, the camo-netting over the refreshments area, the unique military style tee shirt each participant will receive, this event will be 100% military. We know you're in for a very special experience!
