The Freedom Run is a premiere event at Morgan Hill’s annual Freedom Fest, one of the few all-day Independence Day celebrations in the Bay Area. Start your 4th of July celebration with a morning race that will take you through Morgan Hill’s historic, tree-lined downtown. Then stay for the award-winning parade, the largest privately organized parade in Northern California and the official 4th of July Parade of Santa Clara County.

The Freedom Fest’s annual events also include the Patriotic Sing, Family Street Dance, Freedom Car Cruise and Show, and the spectacular fireworks and entertainment show, Fireworks on the Green. Celebrated in our historic downtown core, the Community and Cultural Center as well as the Outdoor Sports Center, our six events deliver a spectacular, fun-filled, family-friendly celebration every July 4th holiday!

Bib pickup will be Saturday June 27, 2026 from 10am to 2pm in the parking lot of the LDS church at 1790 E. Dunne Ave in Morgan Hill. There will be a second bib pickup day on July 2 or July 3 with time TBA. Bibs can also be picked up the morning of the race from 6:45am-7:30am at 17575 Peak Ave, near the finish line. Visit the race website for more information.

    The AAUW Wildflower Run raises money for scholarships and leadership programs for women & girls and community grants. (For information about our organization, go to www.aauwmh.org.) 10K Run, 5K Run, 5K Walk, and 5K stroller/baby jogger category are all on country roads with chip timing. The Kids' 2K Run (ages 5-11) and our "all inclusive, non-competitive" 2K Fun Run/Walk (for ages 2-102) are both on a school track.

    Our new 5K and 10K routes are in a country setting surrounding Morgan Hill with flat terrain on paved roads. Flat and fast for runners wanting to improve their personal record times. Water available at start and finish of race, with multiple water stops along the routes. Strollers are welcome everywhere except on the school's track. No pets permitted on school grounds.

    NOTE: The event is an "open course", so you will need to stay to the side of the road as some vehicular traffic is expected.

    Register early to be guaranteed a unique, 2026 T-shirt in your size. In addition to your limited edition T-shirt, we offer bonus baby-T's for the stroller event (while supplies last) and themed medals for youth. See wildflowerrun.org for details.

    We offer discount pricing for groups, as follows:

    • groups of 10 or more (request a $5 off per person “coupon code” for your group in advance of registering; enter the code at checkout).

    • school teams (within boundaries of MHUSD) – if your principal has agreed to sign up your school for the "school competition", your school will have a unique school "coupon code" for $5 off any race for student/family/staff; enter the code at checkout.
