The fifth annual Mark Forester Price of Freedom Race will be Saturday, May 16, 2015, beginning at 8:00 am.

The purpose of this race is to celebrate Mark’s life and to raise money for The Mark Forester Foundation.

It will begin and end at the Haleyville High School football stadium. The address is:

Haleyville High School

To meet many requests, we’ve added a half marathon this year, as well as the double-dip option again. Here are the race times:

8:00 am – Half marathon begins
8:30 am – 5k begins
8:30 am – Double dip begins. This means runners participate in the 5k and 10k (can’t do the same race twice).
9:30 am – 10k begins
10:30 am – 1 mile fun run begins
Fun run begins when the 10k ends, which will be around 10:30 am.
