About the Event

Celebrating 250 Years of America!

Join California Classic Events as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America at the 6th Annual Great American Race!

This isn't just another Fourth of July run; it's a once-in-a-generation celebration honoring America's Semiquincentennial, marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Gather your friends, family, and running crew and kick off Independence Day the Classic way with a patriotic 5K, 10K, Kids Race, and Costume Contest at Visalia's beautiful Riverway Sports Park.

Experience an American flag-lined course, festive race-day atmosphere, patriotic music, and a community united in celebration, movement, and freedom.

We are one when we run.
