Copy of Vale 4th of July

Event Overview

The Vale 4th of July FunRun is not like most 5k's these days. We are a local group of high school XC coaches and athletes that put on this race as a fundraiser for our team and as a way for our community to come together on the 4th.

We start early to avoid the heat, and we always have chocolate milk at the finish line! There are lots of events going on in the park the day of the race so after you finish you can go see classic cars, eat a pancake and sausage breakfast, or go for a swim at the pool!

We keep the cost low because we do it all ourselves. The loop around town shows off some of Vale's best while being pretty shady from the trees. Best of all we cheer for every finisher no matter what your time!

Course Details

It's flat and pretty fast. Mostly on the open roads of Vale with a .15 mile gravel section at the end of the 5k. The 1-mile is an in-town loop with a few turns, well marked with chalk and signs.

Awards

Award trophies for top male and female finishers of the 5K and 10K. Gift certificates for the top 3 1-mile finishers. Cotton T-shirts for purchase for 1-mile participants (included with 5K and 10K runners entry fee).

Event Schedule

Races start at 8:30 am. All races start at the same time so you can see your time on the BIG clock! Plenty of parking will be available around the pool and park.
