Kick off the 4th with CF Freedom Fun Run

CLARK FORK — Rather than sleeping in this year, some Bonner County residents are choosing to kick off their Fourth of July with the Freedom 5K Fun Run in Clark Fork.

Hosted by The Filling Station, a non-profit Christian youth center, the fun run is being held for the 12th year in a row, formerly called Haden’s Heart.

“The Freedom 5K Fun Run … is a scenic course that's a great way to start off your Fourth of July in a classic small-town setting,” Filling Station staff said.

Most of the proceeds from the run go to support a scholarship fund for Clark Fork High School students who wish to further their education after high school graduation. Proceeds also help fund The Filling Station.

The run will begin at 7 a.m. outside The Filling Station, located in Clark Fork on the corner of W. First Avenue and Main Street.
