From the Organizer
Kick off your Fourth of July at Kronshage Park by participating in either the 5‑Mile Run or the 2‑Mile Walk/Run. A Children’s Fun Run will begin at 8:00 AM (no registration required for the kids’ run). Enjoy free swimming at the pool following the race, and then head downtown for the Independence Day parade.
Proceeds from this event help cover race expenses, with remaining funds supporting community tourism initiatives through the Boscobel Chamber of Commerce and contributing to scholarship opportunities through the Boscobel Education Foundation.
Please note: The race will be held rain or shine. Refunds are not available if the event is canceled due to severe weather.
Thank you for your support and participation in this community tradition!
