Palisades Will Rogers 5K Run

💕 A Message from John:

This 4th of July, I'm hitting the pavement for the Palisades! The fires hit hard, but we're coming back. I'm fundraising to rebuild Palisades Park & Rec Center. Your donation, big or small, makes a huge difference. Please donate to my page and share it widely – let's make a real impact!

We're Back 🇺🇸

For 47 years, the Palisades Will Rogers 5K & 10K Run has been one of the most cherished traditions of our Fourth of July celebration. This year is especially meaningful.

After the devastating fires that impacted our community, we're bringing the Race home to the Palisades. More than a run, it's a chance for neighbors, families, alumni, and friends of the Palisades to come together, celebrate our resilience, and take an important step toward rebuilding what makes our community so special.

This year, every mile supports the rebuilding of the Palisades Recreation Center—the heart of our community and a place that has brought generations of Palisadians together through sports, camps, events, and lifelong friendships.

We're also launching our largest community fundraising effort ever. Every runner will receive a personal fundraising page and can invite friends, family, and supporters to join them in helping rebuild the Rec Center. Together, we've already raised more than $200,000 toward our $500,000 goal. If every runner raises just $250, we'll get there.

Here's how you can help:

🏃 Run for the Cause
Register for the 5K or 10K and become a fundraiser for the future of the Palisades.

❤️ Make a Donation

📣 Spread the Word

The Race is back. The Palisades is rebuilding. And together, we can help bring our community's heart back stronger than ever.

See you at the starting line. 🏁
