42nd Annual Independence Day 5K
About this race
At the Y, we know that real, lasting change happens when we come together to invest in our children, our health, and our communities. As a leading nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of donors and events like this race to ensure that everyone—regardless of their circumstances—has access to life-changing programs and services. By lacing up for the Y’s Independence Day 5K, you’re doing more than running a race—you’re giving working parents access to reliable, high-quality childcare, equipping kids with life-saving water safety skills, and providing teens with positive mentors and a safe space to grow. Every step you take makes a difference.
Join fellow runners on July 4, 2018 for the 42nd Annual Independence Day 5K. It's a fantastic 5K, 0.4K featuring a flat and fast course in Virginia Beach.
