Freedom Ultra Festival
About the race
Welcome to the second annual Freedom Ultra Festival! It takes place on Labor Day weekend 2027 on the private Kearin Family Farm, with portions of the course on an adjacent trail system.
The course is short, fast and flat, with one big central aid station, so you are always close to your gear. It is the perfect race for self-supported runners, and crews or family and friends will be comfortable without rushing from aid station to aid station.
Regardless of the event you choose, you will run laps on the 3.1 mile course until you finish or you break. The short loop lets you push past where you thought your limits were, always able to go one more lap.
Camping and race weekend
Free camping is available from the day before the event through the end of the event, in a low-key atmosphere surrounded by people pushing their limits.
The Black Barn 200 miler starts Friday morning and all other races start Saturday morning.
