Freedom Run

Arrive early! Some roads around the race/parade route close as early as 5:30am. Access to the race start lines and parking is best achieved by approaching from the west and north of BYU campus. Due to limited parking on BYU campus near the start lines for the Freedom Run, we HIGHLY recommend parking at Level Edwards Stadium or the Marriott Center and walking to the respective start lines.  This will also make your exit from the event much easier due to traffic restrictions around the central and southern parts of BYU campus on race day.

All races start at 7:00 am

• 5K start located at corner of 800 N & 150 E (Brick Oven Pizza)
• 10K start located on Birch Ave, at north end of Kiwanis Park
• 1M start located inside Kiwanis Park
• ALL RACES – Start at 7am and finish at entrance to Kiwanis Park

Packet-pickup will be on July 3rd ONLY, at Provo Rec Center in the Multi-Purpose room (east end of facility). We will be open from 9:00am till 4:00pm. We love our volunteers, and we know you do, too! Please be courteous to them when picking up your swag or by ensuring someone else can get your bib and swag if you cannot be to the pick up before 4pm.

At packet-pickup, you will receive your bib number with a timing chip attached, your race shirt, race medal, and possible additional swag. You need to show ID to pick up your packet. We do allow family members to pick up packets of their relations/friends, but they must sign for the goods!

This year, we will have timing chips built right into your racing bib. Timing works best when you wear our racing bib on the front of your shirt or shorts, and have the bib on the top layer of clothing.

Runner positioning should coincide with your bib number. We will assign bib numbers based on your self-reported expected pace. Ultimately we really need the fast runners in the front and the slower runners toward the back at the starting line.  Remember: your official chip timing does not start until you cross the start mat, so keeping an order to the speed of runners keeps the race flowing smoothly!

If you intend to push a wheeled device (stroller), we require that you start with the other wheeled devices after the runners have gone. Strollers can really jam up the works and we really don’t want any collisions between runners and strollers. Please be very attentive of all the runners and walkers around you. Give runners a wide berth if you pass them.

No bicycles, unicycles, or other wheeled devices (exception: strollers) allowed on the course.

On-course Water Stations

The 10K has two on-course water stations. One just after the 3M mark and one just after the 5M mark. We want to keep you hydrated!
