*** SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN VETERANS RACE LOCATION & RACE ROUTE ***

May 12, 2025

As a result of the Mill St construction and detoured traffic routes, the Freedom 4 Veterans Race on May 24 will be relocated to the Clio City Park at Pavilion #3, and will NOT be held at Clio Veterans Memorial Park.

Parking options will be accessible at the Clio City Park and Clio Middle School adjacent to the park. Your patience as we navigate this transition is appreciated.
