.5K Fun Run/Walk & Wiffle Ball Tournament
6/17/2025
The City of Athens is thrilled to invite community members of all ages to join in the fun on Saturday, July 5, 2025, as part of this year’s Athens Freedom Festival! Two featured events promise a great day of laughter, friendly competition, and community spirit — a .5K Fun Run/Walk and a Wiffle Ball Tournament.
The .5K Fun Run/Walk is a short and spirited event that encourages everyone — runners, walkers, and even those just out for a good time — to get involved. This tongue-in-cheek race is perfect for families, groups, and anyone looking to celebrate with a smile.
Following the run, the Wiffle Ball Tournament will bring out the competitive spirit in a fun, relaxed setting suitable for all skill levels. Whether you’re swinging for the fences or just there for the camaraderie, it’s sure to be a highlight of the day.
