Race Information
This "bucket list' marathon features the exciting and historic marathon course used for decades on the Catalina Island Conservancy’s lands. This includes much of the rugged terrain, spectacular vistas, challenging climbs and special challenges enjoyed by thousands of runners over the years!
Participants can also choose to race over 5k or 10k, and there is also a kid's run.
Run Pick of the Month - Independence Day 5K & Firecracker Dash
2,000+ runners. 31st annual race happening on July 4, 2024.
The Village Runner Independence Day 5K is an annual community classic that happens on the 4th of July in Redondo Beach.
Runners can expect chip timing, age division awards, cash prizes to the top three overall male and female runners in the 5K run, and a pretty great pre-race costume contest!
We like that the course is an out and back (you can try and spot your friends). We also like that a portion of all registration fees directly benefit the Redondo Beach Educational Foundation and other local schools.
