These sweet babies are light, breathable, and made from a super soft “Spectra Spun” cotton/poly blend.

They’re the very best shirts we’ve ever made, and every participant gets one free with registration.

A Really
Good Cause

Every year the Old Pros donate tens of thousands of dollars to youth scholarships and youth sports in Scripps Ranch.

When you sign up to run or ride with us, you’re helping us fund these efforts to give back to the community. 60% of the proceeds from this event go directly to support student athletes.

Our Sponsors

Ever wonder how we’re able to keep the 4th of July Run & Ride so darn affordable every year?

Well, the truth is… we get a ton of help from our generous sponsors and community partners. Their support is invaluable, and we couldn’t pull it off without them.
