C5K Freedom

One of our most popular events, volunteering at the Cambridge 5K Freedom Run is something you don't want to miss!

Freedom Run is a patriotic summer "kick off" race through East Cambridge that's hosted by the East Cambridge Business Association (ECBA) and sponsored by the Cambridgeside Galleria.  Your participation helps support local chairities and also benefits One Brick Boston.

Timing Company Assistance: Assist race timing company with recording manual times as back up; training to be provided before the race starts.
