AWI Freedom Run

The Annual AWI Freedom Run is a virtual race being organized by Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation to raise funds for The American Warrior Initiative. You can choose where to run, walk, or bike, whether it be your favorite path or even at home or the gym on a treadmill or elliptical machine. You can do it on your own or with friends! You can even register and use one of our "Ghost Runners" to do the 5k for you.

The American Warrior Initiative is a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization that has reached thousands, bringing awareness to the challenges facing the men and women who have served in the military, police force, fire departments, and more. AWI has spearheaded hundreds of Give-Back Initiatives. These amazing heroes have been served through mortgage-free housing, business grants, home upgrades, service dogs, and much more. Every penny that is donated to AWI goes toward these initiatives to honor the recipients.

All profits from this 5K will go to American Warrior Initiative to help raise enough money to fund service dogs for community heroes. A service dog and training can start at a cost of $15,000.00 or more (increasing from there), putting them out of reach for some of the people that need them most. Help us provide this much-needed assistance to the people that risked their lives for our freedom and safety. For more information about The American Warrior Initiative, the help they have provided, and how you can help outside of this 5K, please check out the Youtube link, and website link for American Warrior Initiative listed below.

Registration for this event will open May 25th, 20264 and go through Saturday, July 4th, 2026.
