    You are invited to join us for the FIRST ANNUAL FREEDOM 5K and FREEDOM RIDE.  Organizers plan for both events to become annual and signature events and attractions both for the participants and the 175,000+ who attend the event annually.

    The Greenville Hospital System Freedom Weekend Aloft has partnered with the Greenville Track Club, Palmetto Peloton C3 and Go-Green Events in the planning, management and on-site execution of these events so participants are insured top notch and first class events.

    Many associate the Upstate's highest flying Memorial Day celebration with dramatic hot air balloon ascensions, non-stop concerts, family and children's entertainment, national disc dog competitions, baseball tournaments, great food and so much more. 

    Since partnering with the Greenville Hospital System in 2008 organizers have added more and more events each year that focus and promote fun, active and healthy lifestyles.

    The event is held over the Memorial Day Holiday weekend and runners, walkers and cyclists of all skill levels are welcomed and encouraged to participate.  Routes will take participants through the event grounds at peak times with multiple goals in mind.

    In the spirit of Memorial Day, runners and cyclists will be participating to "Celebrate, Honor, In Remembrance Of" those men and women who have served our country in past years or who may currently be serving. If you have a grandparent, great grandparent, husband, wife, friend, neighbor, co-worker, brother, sister, Mom, Dad, we want to make this event an event where we honor their service and sacrifice on behalf of  all of us!  We want to share your stories and celebrate all these GREAT AMERICANS!

    For the participants we want this to be a first class experience in everyway, so we are truly fortunate to have The Greenville Track Club and Palmetto Peloton working to insure that after this year, you keep this event on your" can't miss calendar" so we are confident that you can plan on an exciting event from route design to hospitality to an emphasis on the part of all the organizers to insure that you, your family and friends enjoy all the event has to offer.

    Your participation will make evident to the thousands watching that healthy and active lifestyles can be FUN... yes FUN!
