Run for a Reason: The 10th Annual Freedom Run Hits Wesley Chapel District Park This Saturday

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL — Lace up your shoes. The Freedom Run is back for its 10th year, and this one is worth getting up early for.

The Freedom Run: The Race Against Poverty takes place this Saturday, May 2, at Wesley Chapel District Park. Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the race gives runners of all levels a chance to compete — and to make a real difference. All net proceeds go directly toward building homes for families living in extreme poverty around the world.

The Impact
