Mount Shasta 4th of July Walk / Run
The Mount Shasta 4th of July Walk / Run is an annual community event held on July 4th in downtown Mt. Shasta. The event has been held for over 40 years and has drawn thousands of participants.
The program includes three event choices:
- 2 Mile Youth Run
- 2 Mile Fun Walk
- 5 Mile Run
The event functions as a primary fundraiser for local youth and community groups and for SORA. Proceeds are reinvested in community health and fitness projects, youth sports activities, and downtown beautification and enhancement projects.
Entertainment is provided along the walk route and has included church choirs, belly dancers, gymnasts, classical music, country bands, family singers, and other performers. All registered participants are entered in prize drawings that are added to as the event approaches.
The site notes that Mt. Shasta is accessible by highway from four major airports, and the Walk / Run is part of the town's long holiday weekend activities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
