Ah, July. The month when hot dogs become a food group, fireworks double as alarm clocks, and your running shoes practically melt to the pavement. But hey—freedom isn’t just about backyard BBQs and pool floats. It’s also about the freedom to run when you want, where you want, and wearing as much (or as little) red, white, and blue as your neighborhood HOA allows.
This month is all about embracing the summer heat, chasing goals (and maybe ice cream trucks), and stacking up those finisher medals like it's your patriotic duty.
Running in July isn’t for the faint of heart—or the poorly hydrated. Here's how to keep cool while logging those miles:
No travel required. You pick the pace, the place, and we’ll send the bling. All you need is a good playlist, a willingness to sweat, and maybe a popsicle afterward.
👟 Freedom Run Challenge – Stars, stripes, and a sparkle finish.
🐢 Sloth Run 5K/10K – Because your pace is still a pace.
🌙 Moonlight Miles – A cool evening challenge for night owls and vampires.
Running isn’t about being the fastest. It’s about being the one who didn’t quit. So whether you're crushing half marathons or just surviving a jog in flip-flops (don’t), you’re moving forward—and that’s what counts.

Stay sweaty, stay proud, and remember: sunscreen on the nose is not optional.
