Morgan Hill Freedom 5K Run/Walk
The Morgan Hill Freedom 5K Run/Walk and 1-Mile Kid's Run is coming up on Thursday the Fourth of July. At 3.1 miles, the 5K, can be a challenging distance for many people, but veteran long-distance runners sometimes dismiss the 5K--it's even shorter than their normal warm-up.
