Keller Juneteenth Freedom Run

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

Celebrate Freedom and Fitness at the SPECS Movement’s Annual Juneteenth 2.5-Mile Run/Walk or Yoga!

Join The SPECS Movement along with our partners Keller ISD Families for Public Education and Dignity for All Texas Students on Saturday, June 14, 2025, for a memorable morning of community, commemoration, and challenge at Bear Creek Park in Keller, TX. Juneteenth commemorates the day when the last community of enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas, received word that they had been freed from bondage 2.5 years after the emancipation proclamation was signed. This Run/Walk is 2.5 miles in memorial of that day.
