About this race
The Annual Laguna Niguel Family YMCA Run in the Parks is back! We are excited to celebrate the 47th year of this beloved community and family tradition in honor of Independence Day. This year, participants can choose between a 5K run and a Kids Run. Every race entry directly benefits the YMCA’s scholarship fund, which helps ensure access to YMCA programs for individuals and families most in need throughout our community. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and events like this one, the Y continues to provide critical scholarships and remain a place of support, connection, and opportunity for all. The Y is here for you, for the community, and for good.
