Freebird 5K

Lace up your sneakers for an unforgettable day at the Freebird 5K Run/Walk, a tribute to the remarkable Charles "Charlie" O'Connell and his enduring legacy. On September 13th, join us at the crack of dawn for a scenic dash through Coldstream Dog Park/Legacy Trail, where the flat and fast course promises personal bests and breathtaking views.

From commemorative tie-dyed T-shirts to age group awards and free race photos, each mile is packed with moments to celebrate Charlie's love of life and service. You can join as an individual or boost the fun by creating a Social Team with chances to snag a prize for being the largest squad in attendance. The best part? All proceeds will go toward the Lexington Public Safety Museum, a cause close to Charlie's heart. So, come revel in a day filled with food, fun, and fellowship as we honor a true Lexington legend – and maybe, just maybe, you'll feel that same wind of freedom that Charlie cherished so dearly. Fly high at the Freebird 5K – where every step forges part of Charlie's continuing story.
