Kick off your Fourth of July with a healthy tradition the whole family can enjoy! The Freedom Four is a 4-mile run/walk that takes you on a scenic route around Lake Ellyn Park and the charming surrounding neighborhood. Whether you’re a seasoned runner chasing a personal record or a casual walker enjoying the fresh air, this event welcomes all ages (5 and up).

More Than Just a Race – Build Community & Give Back
The Freedom Four goes beyond the finish line. It’s about celebrating community spirit and supporting a great cause. A portion of the proceeds benefits the Glen Ellyn Parks Foundation’s Scholarship Fund, ensuring underprivileged families can access recreation and athletic programs offered through the Glen Ellyn Park District.
