Big Bear 4th of July Fun Run - 5K, 10K, 15K (Virtual)

2020 In-Person Race Cancelled - Virtual is ON!

In response to the recent escalation of the COVID-19 threat in Southern California, we have decided to cancel the 2020 in-person Fun Run. We are very disappointed that the in-person event will not be possible this year, but we believe this is in the best interest of the participants, volunteers, and community. We appreciate your understanding.

Unless you told us otherwise, you will be transferred into the Virtual Race of the same distance. We will still hold packet-pickup here in Big Bear for you to pickup your shirt and medal. If you will be up in Big Bear over the 4th, we encourage you to run your own race - you get to pick the time and place!

PLEASE REVIEW ALL EVENT MODIFICATIONS BEFORE REGISTERING --> CLICK HERE.

Same day registration now adds $20 per person instead of our usual $10 additional fee. This is to discourage same-day registrations in 2020 so we can execute our social distancing plan better. So be sure to register early and save! The extra $10 will go directly to the SAR team.

Online registration closes on July 3rd at 5pm.
