Freedom Run on the Ranch - A Run for Joy to benefit NEGU
About this race
A Ladera Ranch tradition - The Freedom Run on the Ranch is happy to invite you to run in the kids Firecracker 1k or our 5k and 10k runs. The event provides our community the ability to support local charities through the race registration proceeds and sponsorship opportunities. We encourage all to enjoy this great opportunity to celebrate our national holiday and have a little fun while running the streets of your community. We will have several festivities to support the runners and non-participants at the event with a breakfast and sponsor vendor area during the morning event. Please help us celebrate the 4th of July festivities and raise awareness and much needed support to the charities. Remember price increases on June 22nd. Also help support our charities by purchasing breakfast from participating local restaurants. All proceeds benefit the charities.
