Lace up your running shoes and join the vibrant community of San Diego for the 2nd Annual San Diego 4th of July 5K & 10K on Thursday, July 4, 2026. This inspiring event, held at 4S Ranch Sports Park, is more than just a race; it's a powerful morning dedicated to community, celebration, and giving back. Run or walk the 10K, 5K, or participate with the little ones in the 1K Kids Fun Run, all while supporting a noble cause: providing scholarships for youth to access sports opportunities and mental health support programs in honor of Ethan Hamilton.

Runners can expect a festive atmosphere under typical race day conditions with highs around 75F, lows around 65F, and a 0% chance of precipitation, ensuring a comfortable Independence Day experience. The 10K starts promptly at 8:00 AM, followed by the 5K at 8:05 AM, and the Kids 1K Fun Run at 9:30 AM. Every participant receives a commemorative race T-shirt, a finisher's medal, and a swag bag, including a raffle ticket for a chance to win amazing prizes from local partners. You can even honor someone special by sponsoring an American flag to be displayed along the route.

The celebration continues well beyond the finish line with a full community festival. Enjoy delicious In-N-Out Burger and unwind at a festive Beer Garden sponsored by Harland Brewing, creating the perfect post-race camaraderie. This event offers a unique opportunity to celebrate Independence Day with purpose, investing in the youth and honoring a cherished legacy.
