July 4th Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO
The event takes place on July 4, 2026 at Sutter's Landing Regional Park on 28th Street in Sacramento, California. It offers in-person and virtual participation and includes a range of distances to accommodate families and individual runners.
Distances:
- 5K
- 10K

Organizers describe the in-person format as a smaller, private group run with capped waves. Waves are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis; a wait list and a virtual option are available when waves sell out. Timing is optional: participants may track their effort with running apps and submit results for online posting, and there are no timing chips. Race bibs are provided on race day.
Swag is mailed to the US address provided at registration, so no packet pickup is required. Standard items include a running t-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, a digital training pack, and an online certificate of completion. A technical running shirt is offered as an optional upgrade for an additional fee. Organizers also invite participants to join local running clubs and provide race updates and course information in advance.
Published registration fees list the following amounts: 5K $41.89, 10K $47.26, Half Marathon $50.48, Virtual Run $41.89, Family 1 Mile $39.74. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
