July 4th Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO

Celebrate America's independence by lacing up your shoes for the July 4th Run 5K/10K/13.1 in Sacramento, California, on Thursday, July 4, 2026. This unique event offers a half-marathon (13.1 miles), 10K, 5K, and a 1-mile fun run, catering to all ages and paces in a supportive, stress-free environment. Held at Sutter's Landing Park, a portion of the net proceeds from this event benefits Hope for the Warriors, supporting service members, veterans, and military families. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 95F and lows around 62F, the early 7:30 AM PDT start time for all waves helps runners beat the heat, with a 0% chance of precipitation historically observed for this time of year.

This smaller, private group run is designed for personal achievement, limiting participation to 15-20 runners per wave to ensure a more intimate and encouraging experience. The course is primarily road-based, offering a pure running experience with coordinators present to provide support. There are no timing chips, allowing participants to enjoy the journey without competitive pressure; optional timing is available, or you can track your run with your favorite app and submit results online.

Participants can look forward to a hassle-free experience, as a running t-shirt, finisher's medal, and other giveaways are shipped directly to their address. Embrace the spirit of freedom and community at this engaging July 4th event, whether you're walking, jogging, or pushing for a personal best in a warm and supportive setting.
