Come for the run and stay for the parade!
The Concord Police Association is once again bringing the Stars and Stripes 5K to celebrate Independence Day as part of the Concord July 4 festivities.
The race will include special medals for all finishers, custom age group medals for 5-year age group divisions, and more. This event will also include a free run for kids 10 and under.
A portion of race proceeds will benefit Ainsley's Angels and their mission to provide race chairs to disabled persons, making them able to participate and engage with their communities at events like this.
