The annual Freedom 4 Miler race is taking place once again in Tequesta on July 4. This year, over 1,000 people from across South Florida are expected to attend.

Each mile of the race is named after a local fallen servicemember.

The annual event helps the Believe With Me nonprofit to supply more than 1,500 children of fallen military members with Christmas gifts this year, as well as meet the immediate financial needs of their families.

The race starts at Tequesta’s Constitution Park at 7 a.m. Monday. It is open to the public to attend and cheer on those who will run or walk the race.

Registration is still open. Get more info at the Believe With Me website.
