Description
For 47 years, the Palisades Will Rogers 5 & 10K Run and Kids’ Fun Run has been a centerpiece of the Palisades’ 4th of July celebration. The Palisades Will Rogers 5&10K Run Foundation and it’s Presenting Sponsor, Providence Saint John’s Health Center, is doing everything they can to support the recovery effort in the aftermath of the unprecedented fire. Although the fire destruction and residues have made it unfeasible to hold the event at our traditional location, we are holding a 5K Run and Kids’ Fun Run at Venice Beach this year. We look forward to neighbors and friends joining us to celebrate all that makes the Palisades such a special community, and enjoy a healthful start to the 4th of July in a safe environment.
Race proceeds this year will go toward rebuilding the Pacific Palisades Park & Community Center, as the Palisades centerpiece for neighbors of all ages to gather and recreate together. The Palisades Will Rogers 5&10K Run Foundation is also accepting direct donations toward that effort. Donations may be made through the Foundation’s website at RunSignUp.com, or by mail to Palisades Will Rogers 5&10K Run Foundation, P.O. Box 601, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272.
Sign up now…See you on the 4th of July!
