About this race
A Ladera Ranch tradition returns this Fourth of July! Join us for the Freedom Run on the Ranch—a fun, community-first celebration featuring the Kids Firecracker 1K, 5K, and 10K. This year we are celebrating our 20th Anniversary!
Your participation makes a difference: race registration and sponsorship proceeds support local charities, and in 2026 we are proud to support the Jessie Rees Foundation – NEGU.
Bring the whole family—whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines. Enjoy a festive event morning with a breakfast option and sponsor/vendor area, plus plenty of Fourth of July spirit throughout the community.
Important: Registration prices increase on June 22. Please register early.
