2026 Registration

Get ready for an exciting July 4th. Run the 5K or 10K at North Tahoe Regional Park! Take in the beautiful, scenic trails, perfect for running, walking, or just leisurely strolling. The 5K is a quick, fun route, while the 10K features a memorable climb that adds a little extra challenge.

Bring your friends and family along for a fantastic way to kick off your July 4th celebration at the Beach.

For your convenience, parking is available at North Tahoe Regional Park for a small fee. It’s located less than a mile from the race finish, so you can enjoy a pleasant walk back to your car.

The race ends at the stunning Tahoe Vista Recreation Area Beach, with its sandy shores perfect for swimming and relaxing. Tahoe Vista and North Lake Tahoe are wonderful places to celebrate the holiday, with fireworks or a spectacular drone light show planned for the evening.

It’s been such a joy to see everyone’s colorful garb, outfits, and costumes year after year. We’re excited to kick off the 2026 annual best attire contest! This year, we’ll host the contest right at the finish area. The judging will be relaxed and fun, with fellow runners helping us pick the winners. And, of course, there will be special prizes to celebrate everyone’s creativity!
