Kernersville 4th of July 5K Race

In 1997, we began an annual 4th of July 5K Race that precedes the 4th of July Parade. The route follows the parade route through downtown, so participants get a chance to run before a large, cheering crowd. Thanks to generous sponsors as well as entry fees, this is one of our club’s largest fundraisers of the year. Proceeds go to support the many projects our club manages to benefit the local community.

Prize money and trophies are available to top race finishers! Visit https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/Kernersville/4thofJuly5k prior the event to pre-register.
