A healthy way to kick off your Fourth of July Festivities! La Palma’s Fitness Run for Fun is more than just another run: it’s an opportunity to experience that small town/hometown sense of community; to share quality time with your family, neighbors, and friends; and to focus on health and wellness while participating in a quality running, walking, or strolling experience.

Kids! Join us in the 4th annual Yankee Doodle Dash, a race geared for children 2 – 12 years old. This noncompetitive run will have two starting points based on age or ability. The 1/5 mile run (6 – 12 year old) will start in front of Bank of America, while the 1/10 mile run (2 – 5 year old) will start in front of the Orange County Library-La Palma Branch. Each runner will receive an official race bib and a participation medal. Although this race is intended for kids, parents are welcome to run with their children. Registration is required for this run and space is limited.
The Family Fun Zone has plenty to do for families of all ages! Challenge your friends in our inflatable obstacle course, or race your family in a potato sack race, or challenge them in a tug-o-war match. Even the little ones will have fun with the patriotic arts and crafts. Join us and we’ll guarantee a healthy and fun start to your 4th of July!
