Yankee Doodle Dash & Family Fun Zone
Kids! Join us in the 8th Annual Yankee Doodle Dash, a race geared for children 2 – 12 years old. This non-competitive run will have two starting points based on age or ability. The 1/5 mile run (6 – 12 year old) will start in front of Bank of America, while the 1/10 mile run (2 – 5 year old) will start in front of the Orange County Library - La Palma Branch. Each runner will receive an official race bib and a participation medal. Although this race is intended for kids, parents are welcome to run with their children. Registration is required for this run and space is limited.
Family Fun Zone
The Family Fun Zone has plenty to do for families of all ages! Challenge your friends in our inflatable obstacle course, or compete against your family in the potato sack race, or challenge them to a tug-o-war match. Even the little ones will have fun with the patriotic arts and crafts. Join us and we’ll guarantee a healthy and fun start to your 4th of July!
