I enjoy this race. The shirts are usually pretty great (I do wish they were a different fabric) the medals are great. I think it's super fun to run/walk through the parade route.

Poor organization, very disappointed

I tried looking up packet pick up online this year, but the website was down. No info was sent in any emails, so I relied on last year's info. Unfortunately by the time I just went there, it had already closed. I tried the organizers, but no help there. Who gives out info once to thousands of people & expect them to remember it, & then not be available when they try to get it? I want a refund, but who knows, I may just be screwed.

It's a Trap!

My husband works on the byu campus and is on call on the 4th of July and ended up trapped on campus because of the run. He tried all exits and they told him he would have to wait on campus andcthey didn't know when he could leave. I am also disabled and he helps take care of me and is now unable to reach me if there is an emergency. Those who work on campus should have been alerted to this issue. This is extremely poor organization.

Not meant to be family friendly

This is always a fun race, but not very family friendly. Many other races will offset the start times just a little, and that goes a long way for families wanting to participate in the 1 mile fun run AND a 5k or 10k. Such an easy fix, but the race director had zero interest or care (we emailed back and forth). Apparently this is not meant to be a family event. Also they tend to give poor information for parking, etc. In the past they have directed to specific parking areas (BYU Law School, for example) and those areas have been barred off from race participants. Get it together, this race could be improved a lot with a little bit of care!!

Run Free!

The Freedom Run has become a family tradition for us! This year was my 4th time around and it's always well organized and planned out. There are usually runners with great costumes and the food in the runner corral is good and plentiful! You gotta experience it!

We were the naked runners

We ran this 10k dressed up as body painted RED WHITE AND BLUE! Three of us ran it, one was U, one was S (me) , and one was A! It was the best ever. Our U even threw up on university avenue he was running so hard! Very well organized run and with the American patriotic and funky music echoing from my backpack, it was a great time!

This race was so fun. Great way to start out the Holiday. I was a little disappointed the hot air balloons were not in the air, but that is no fault of the race organizers.

Long time runner.

Have run this race every season since I moved to Provo in 1992. It is a great way to start commemorating our great country on the 4th of July. I love it.

Great Event!

This was the first time that my husband ran this race. I was able to sign him up without incident on the website the morning of July 3rd. The instructions for packet pickup were really clear, and it was well organized. I was able to easily pick up my husband's packet. The only thing I was confused about was where the actual starting line was, but we found it. Loved all the energy and the excitement of the event. Thank you for organizing this!
