Started in 1975 and continuing every 4th of July thereafter, the Crown City Classic has a run for everyone. With a 12k, a 5k, and a half-mile (for kids), this is surely the way to earn yourself a firework celebration!

Those that normally partake in races may have noticed that 12k is an unusual distance. “Why a 12k distance?” they may be asking themselves.

Crown City’s answer: Because nothing is more patriotic than running 7.4 miles on 7/4 in one of America’s most patriotic cities!

We couldn’t agree more!

So bring the kids, strollers, walkers and anyone else that just likes to get moving and have a good time!

And don’t forget to stick around for the Coronado Independence Day Parade which begins at 10 a.m.!
