Registration is OPEN for the 41st Annual 4th of JULY RUN! Two runs are offered, a 2-mile fun run and a 10K that attracts local competitors as well as running talent from other regions in the U.S. The routes are scenic and on closed roadways. A section of the 10K route is along the tree-lined Bear Creek Greenway. Both races start at 7:45 a.m. and are chip-timed. All ages are welcome. The start/finish line is near the Ashland Library, 410 Siskiyou Blvd, corner of 3rd St and Gresham St. The cost for youth is $10 for either run. Adult prices, ages 13 and up, start at $20. Register early and save $$$. The event is a fundraiser for the Ashland and Phoenix High School cross country teams.
