Join Santa Cruz's iconic Fourth of July celebration at Harvey West Park on July 4th, 2026, where you can pick your perfect distance: the challenging 10K hill course, a speedy 5K, or a fun 1K for kids. Whether you're aiming for a personal record or running with family, you'll enjoy post-race festivities including burritos, ice cream, and awards while supporting local youth through the Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Foundation. With every registration dollar going directly to the community and an all-volunteer team, this year's run is aiming to bring together over 1,000 runners to celebrate America's 250th birthday Santa Cruz style.
