Freedoms Run 5K
Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps, big temp swing
Mild 52°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temps will climb significantly to 68°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 67% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Freedom's Run 5K is an out-and-back course from Shepherdstown, West Virginia, on the Saturday of race weekend. It crosses the Potomac River on the James Rumsey Bridge and follows the C&O Canal towpath downriver to the turnaround, then returns the same way to finish at Ram Stadium. The surface is a mix of road and crushed gravel, and the course is mostly flat and suits walkers and young runners.
