Village Runner 4th of July 5K Presented by UCLA Health
Monday, July 4th 2016

This race benefits the American Cancer Society. Partnering through Relay for Life, a percent of the proceeds will support the charity’s cancer research and free patient programs.

This event has grown to over 3000 runners participants. The race, on a fast, flat, scenic course that winds along the Redondo Beach waterfront, is popular with runners and walkers from throughout the South Bay Beach Communities. Runners also come in from across the country and from around the world! Participants range from 4 years old to up to 90 years old. There will be a costume contest, a two-day Health & Fitness Expo, Firecracker races for children, and a post-race party.

College elite runner Kayla Montgomery, who is currently battling the ravages of MS, will run the 5K and, just prior to the race, will be honored with the Pathfinder Award. Other special guests include Redondo Beach City Council member, Jeff Ginsburg, and this year’s honorary race starter, Redondo Beach Mayor, Steve Aspel.
