Fayetteville Freedom Run: Money Box 5K Walk and Run

On the morning of October 3, 2026, Fayetteville will host its inaugural Financial Literacy 5K Run/Walk, an innovative community event designed to promote awareness and understanding of financial management. The race starts at Forsyth Technical Community College (FTCC), where participants can look forward to a scenic route through the campus grounds.
This unique event combines physical activity with educational value, offering runners and walkers the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue about personal finance while enjoying a healthy dose of exercise. Whether you're an avid runner or prefer walking at your own pace, this 5K is inclusive for all fitness levels.
The race day will feature informational booths set up along the route where local financial experts will be available to provide advice and answer questions on various topics such as budgeting, saving strategies, investment options, and more. Participants can also expect motivational speeches from community leaders who emphasize the importance of financial literacy in achieving personal goals.
In addition to the race itself, attendees are encouraged to stay for a post-race celebration at FTCC where refreshments will be served and further opportunities exist to learn about upcoming educational workshops focused on enhancing one's financial knowledge. This event promises not only physical activity but also valuable insights into managing your finances effectively in today’s economy.
Join us as we come together to support this vital cause, making strides towards a financially literate community while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of FTCC.
