Kick off the 4th with CF Freedom Fun Run
LAUREN REICHENBACH | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 7 months, 1 week AGO
I’ve spent most of my life in northeastern Washington and graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2021. After that, I spent roughly two years working for a small online newspaper in North Seattle before realizing big city living wasn’t for me. Me and my pup, Kodak, headed east, where we eventually landed in Sandpoint. When I’m not writing, you can find me spending time exercising and taking photos. I ran two half marathons in high school and after spending the past few years recovering from various injuries, I’m hoping to complete my first full marathon by the end of the year. I also love any outdoor activity, none of which would be complete without my dog. Kodak and I love going for walks and hikes, and I can’t wait to try to convince him to get in my kayak and spend the hot months of the year on Lake Pend Oreille. While he’s not a fan of baths, he sure does love chasing the ducks. | June 21, 2024 1:00 AM
CLARK FORK — Rather than sleeping in this year, some Bonner County residents are choosing to kick off their Fourth of July with the Freedom 5K Fun Run in Clark Fork.
Hosted by The Filling Station, a non-profit Christian youth center, the fun run is being held for the 12th year in a row, formerly called Haden’s Heart.
“The Freedom 5K Fun Run … is a scenic course that's a great way to start off your Fourth of July in a classic small-town setting,” Filling Station staff said.
Most of the proceeds from the run go to support a scholarship fund for Clark Fork High School students who wish to further their education after high school graduation. Proceeds also help fund The Filling Station.
The run will begin at 7 a.m. outside The Filling Station, located in Clark Fork on the corner of W. First Avenue and Main Street.
Visit www.fillingstationyouth.com/registration-form to register for the race.
