Run for fun in La Palma

  • 2023-06-26
A special run is coming up in La Palma to celebrate a special day.

The La Palma Fitness Run for Fun is not just a run, but also a way for members of the community to start their Independence Day by connecting and experiencing the camaraderie and hometown feeling that occurs among residents of the same small town.

At the end of the race, it will be time to enjoy a pancake breakfast courtesy of the La Palma Kiwanis Club. The breakfast is a fundraiser for the club, which will use the funds for its student scholarships and community activities. Central Park is the venue for the breakfast, which will be followed by the awards presentation. In addition, the La Palma Community Services Department will set up the popular Family Fun Zone.

Now in its 41st year, the run takes place July 4, with check-in at 6.00 am, followed by the start of the 5K Run/Walk and the 10K Run at 7.30 am. The pancake breakfast also starts at 7.30 am. The Family Fun Zone opens at 8.30 am, and the Yankee Doodle Dash, a non-competitive run for children, also begins at 8.30 am. The Awards Ceremony is set for 9.15 am. When events like this are planned organizers can use banner printing to create sturdy markers for the course.
