MLK Jr. Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN ANTONIO

Celebrate Unity and Fitness at Our Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Run!
This year, gather alongside thousands as we honor the legacy of Dr. King through community service and personal achievement on this special day. Lace up your shoes and join us for a run that combines fitness with social responsibility.
Our event is designed to be inclusive, catering to runners of all paces and ages (under 18 must have guardian permission). Whether you choose to sprint or stroll, every step contributes to the spirit of Dr. King's message of love and resilience.
This isn't just a race; it’s an opportunity for community engagement. As participants, you’ll not only run with purpose but also support local initiatives that align with our mission. The event is structured in waves, ensuring a seamless start time and minimizing congestion on the course.
Timing is optional—track your progress using any app (Strava, RunKeeper) or let us assist for a stress-free experience. We do not use timing chips to keep things simple and enjoyable.
