The Freedom's Run was created by Dr. Mark Cucuzzella and Lois Turco to promote a healthier lifestyle in what is known as one of the most unhealthy states in the country. In the 10+ years since the race's inception, Freedom's Run has created a running boom through our small region and provided locals with a way to keep active and showcase our beautiful region. Through the Freedom's Run Grant, we've been able to donate over $400,00 to providing our community with local trails at their schools and youth and adult camps. So come join us and be a part of the West Virginia Running Revolution!

We’re thrilled to share that Girls on the Run Shenandoah Valley has received a $4,500 grant! This generous funding will allow us to offer full scholarships for 30 girls, empowering them to join our program in the Eastern Panhandle. We can’t wait to see the impact this will make!
