Freedom 5K & Trunk-or-Treat returns Oct. 24

MILESBURG -- Freedom Life Church will host the Freedom 5K & Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday, Oct. 24, bringing runners, families and the community together for a day of fun and meaningful impact!

Beginning at 9 a.m., at Freedom Life Church, located at 113 Sunset Acres, Milesburg, the Freedom 5K will take participants through Sunset Acres, offering runners and walkers an opportunity to enjoy the community while supporting a cause that reaches far beyond the finish line. The race will be held rain or shine, and proceeds will benefit All Things Possible and Project Rescue, two organizations working to combat human trafficking and bring hope, freedom and restoration to those affected by exploitation.

Participants are encouraged to register early, with early bird registration ending Sept. 30. Online registration is available at the website, freedom.life/freedom5k.

Following the 5K awards presentation, families are invited to attend the Trunk-or-Treat at Bald Eagle Area High School from 12 p.m. until 2 p.m. (The event will be held at the school so that the guests can be better accommodated in the larger parking lot.) All of the activities at the school are free. Children and families will especially enjoy Trunk-or-Treat, inflatables, concessions, a petting zoo, face painting and more! Non-scary costumes are welcome.

"The Freedom 5K and Trunk-or-Treat are opportunities for people to come together, have fun and to make a difference," explains Pastor Josh Simonetti.
