July 4th Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN DIEGO

Join fellow runners and walkers in a spirited celebration of freedom at the July 4th Run 5K/10K/13.1 SAN DIEGO, taking place on Saturday, July 4, 2026. This unique event, hosted in the vibrant Liberty Station area of San Diego, offers a variety of distances including a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon (13.1M), and a 1-mile Family Fun Run, ensuring there's a perfect challenge for every pace and ability. Embrace the "Run Free. Run Proud." motto as you kick off your Independence Day with a focus on fitness and community.

Designed for a warm, stress-free experience, this smaller, private group run forgoes traditional timing chips, allowing participants to enjoy the journey at their own leisure while coordinators provide support along the road course. The exact course map for Liberty Station will be emailed to registrants, guiding you through a scenic run or walk. Typical race day conditions in San Diego around this time of year are ideal, with comfortable highs near 75°F and lows around 65°F, and virtually no chance of rain, promising a pleasant atmosphere for all participants. Each finisher will receive a medal and a running t-shirt, shipped directly to their address, eliminating the need for packet pickup.

This celebratory event is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to connect with others in a supportive environment while honoring America's independence. A portion of the net proceeds benefits Hope for the Warriors, a non-profit dedicated to supporting service members, veterans, and military families. With flexible wave start times beginning at 7:30 AM, secure your spot early as this popular July 4th tradition is known to sell out quickly.
