Top Notch
Shirt

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.

Awards

Medals are awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers in each 10K age division.

Cash prizes are given to 1st ($300), 2nd ($200), and 3rd ($100) place overall finishers in the Men’s and Women’s Divisions. First place male and female finishers will also be awarded the Ron McElliott Cup.

After you cross the finish line, the fun is just beginning.

Overflow parking is available on Meanley Dr. and Hoyt Park Dr. We have permission to use the parking lots for the CoreLogic building located at 10277 Scripps Ranch Blvd conveniently located between Meanley and Hoyt Park Dr. and also further up Meanley or Hoyt Park Dr. in the PayChex parking lot located at 10150 Meanley Dr. We will have shuttles waiting at the intersection of Meanley and Hoyt Park Dr. to take you to the start line. This overflow parking is easily accessed after the race from the Hoyt Park finish line by walking down Canyon Lake Drive to the cul-de-sac and taking a short trail back to Hoyt Park Dr.

Shuttle vans will transport participants from this lot to the start area between 6:00am-6:50am. Due to the ever increasing popularity of this event you are encouraged to arrive at the parking lot no later than 6:30am to ensure that you will be ready to start when the gun fires at 7:00am.

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.

If you love kicking off your 4th of July in Scripps Ranch as much as we do… I’d like to encourage you to give this logo gallery a hard look to see if any of these fine folks might be a good fit.
