Race presented by the

Palisades Will Rogers Ridge Runners & Palisades Optimist Club

The Palisades - Will Rogers 5k & 10k Run traverses the beautiful city streets of the Pacific Palisades, with the 10k runners proceeding through the Will Rogers State Park. This run is one of the more popular and well recognized 10ks in California.

This 32-year Palisades tradition has always included the Will Rogers State Historic Park as part of the race route, even borrowing the name in recognition of this famous Palisades resident.  This year’s race is in partnership with the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation, a new non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the legacy of Will Rogers through interpretive activities and fundraising to assist in the ongoing restoration, rehabilitation, and preservation of Will Rogers State Historic Park.  The WRRF is an all volunteer organization, supported by the Rogers family, the Will Rogers Cooperative Association, long-time ranch advocates, the local community, and Will Rogers fans from around the nation.  

Race participants will have the opportunity to support this local organization as part of the race registration process.  For more information about the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation, you can visit their website at www.willrogersranchfoundation.org.

Awards for the 5k & 10k give medals to first, second and third place finishers in 30 divisions (14 male and 14 female) in each race. Kids Run is non-competitive and doesn't have age divisions with each participant receiving a ribbon and a flag.

The 5k, 10k, and kids run start and finish at the Palisades Recreation Center, 851 Alma Real Dr., Pacific Palisades. Day of race registration begins at 6:30 a.m. and ends at 8:00 a.m. We look forward to seeing you there this 4th of July at the starting line for a prompt 8:15 a.m. start / Kids Run at 9:15 a.m
