Your participation makes a difference: race registration and sponsorship proceeds support local charities, and in 2026 we are proud to support the Jessie Rees Foundation – NEGU.
Bring the whole family—whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines. Enjoy a festive event morning with a breakfast option and sponsor/vendor area, plus plenty of Fourth of July spirit throughout the community.
