42nd Annual Independence Day 5K Run/Walk

The Annual Independence Day 5K & Family Run is a major community event that draws a diverse group of participants each year. In 2025, the race raised over $30,000, engaging 800 runners and walkers of all ages, with the support of 66 dedicated volunteers.

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.

As a sponsor for the Y’s Independence Day 5K, you’re doing more than supporting 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.
