The Team RunFree ‘Miles of Smiles’ 5K race has moved back to a summer race. Get ready for another fun race through the streets, parks and trails of Adel. The Team RunFree and Synergy adaptive running teams will again be sharing the road and supplying ‘miles of smiles’ as they race the 3.1 mile course. We hope you will take a few moments and get to know a few of our team members.
And the exciting part – your race registration fee is FREE ! We want to give this race to you as a way to say THANK YOU to so many who have supported and encouraged us.
The 5K race will begin and end near the Community Stage and Pavilion at 10th and Main in Adel. Medals will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in each age/gender group. An awesome Team RunFree cooling towel will be given to each participant. Walkers and strollers are very welcome.
In addition to a fun chip-timed 5K race, all racers and volunteers will enjoy a Chick-fil-A breakfast sandwich, fruit, snacks and fresh brewed coffee from The Rooted Bean. MANY thanks to Lincoln Savings Bank for sponsoring us and making this race a reality. We wish you a great race, an enjoyable meal and the inspiration to ‘pay it forward’.

This race is put on by Team Runfree, an organization that pairs up runners with those with disabilities unable to run on their own. There was about 8 teams of the before mentioned and the rest were runners (around 100 total). The race was all in town on paved roads and a small loop around a nearby park. The race was a double out and back which is nice for spectators as they got to see runners at the start, middle, and finish of the race. Course was fairly flat.
Swag was a cooling towel and decent post race food. Can’t complain with anything really as the race is offered for free with the option to donate to Team Runfree.
No complaints on how the race was run, everything went smoothly. Can’t really beat a race with free entry, decent competition as well, no crazy fast runners but most people were in the 18-28 minute timeframe.
