Anniversary
What an incredible celebration of America’s 250th birthday!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Stars & Strides Flag Day 5K & 1-Mile Freedom Walk on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Bell Works. Together, you helped kick off our nation’s Semiquincentennial with an unforgettable day filled with patriotism, community spirit, and celebration.
From seasoned runners chasing personal bests to families walking together in red, white, and blue, participants of all ages came together to honor 250 years of courage, sacrifice, innovation, and freedom. The course was alive with energy, music, cheering spectators, and an overwhelming sense of American pride that made this once-in-a-lifetime event special.
Because of your enthusiasm, the Stars & Strides Flag Day 5K & 1-Mile Freedom Walk became more than a race – it was a celebration of our nation’s past, present, and future. Your participation helped create memories that will last long after the finish line was crossed.
Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, public safety personnel, event staff, Bell Works, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this historic event possible. Thank you to every participant who laced up their running shoes, proudly wore red, white, and blue, and became part of this milestone celebration.
America only celebrates its 250th birthday once. Thank you for helping us make history and for celebrating this remarkable moment together.
