Walkers
Walkers ARE welcome and ENCOURAGED.
The Lincoln Pettaway Freedom 5K is for everybody. WE WANT YOU THERE, moving at your own pace and soaking up all the Juneteenth vibes.
The course has a generous 1-hour time limit, so don’t worry about speed — just show up and finish strong.
And guess what? The one and only "Madam CJ Walker" will be out on the course walking with you, leading with power, grace, and fierce determination. Lace up your shoes, and let’s walk in freedom together.
Pets & Strollers
While all family members are encouraged to participate, we need you to keep your “furry” family members home. Pets will NOT be allowed on the course.
Running strollers WILL be allowed. Since most of the run is on the lakefront paths, we need you to start at the back with your stroller. Bicycles or any other wheeled devices are not permitted on the course. Motorized devices of any kind are prohibited.
Countdown to the Fun!
