Palmer Lake July 4 Fun Run

Welcome to the 41st Anniversary of the July 4th Fun Run! This year we are sticking with the freedom to choose approach for the July 4th Fun Run, you are free to choose how you would like to participate! Whether you choose In-Person or Virtual, we know it will be a great time! 

We are choosing to go with different themes in the medal department this year! We are excited to share the news...stay tuned! 

As always all proceeds from this race will go directly to Palmer Lake Elementary School.  Thank you for your continued support!

We will continue to give you the option to participate In-Person or Virtually! Please choose the option that works best for you!  We also have some exciting ideas to break up the old running medal idea!

The shuttle will still be provided from the end of the race back to the start line! 7:30am-9am.
