Last updated 6/8/2021

The 16th Freedom Old Home Week Road Race is a fun activity for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities.  Please note that this page may be updated any time up to race day.  Check back often to keep up to date on changes.  Questions may be directed to Nancy Griffin at runinfreedom@gmail.com. 

What to expect for the 2021 16th Freedom Old Home Week 5K:

• Details are subject to change based upon NH State guidelines for COVID-19.
• We are planning for the worst while hoping for the best.

We don’t anticipate that COVID-19 will disappear completely by August, and we cannot pinpoint exactly where we will be on the trajectory of vaccine rollout and herd immunity.  We do know that we take your health and safety as paramount to your experience in Freedom.  Therefore, we are making preparations for a modified event this year.

We are proud to have Granite State Race Services provide race results to our participants.  Please refer to https://www.gsrs.com/ for additional information regarding their services.
