Plans are underway for another spectacular 4th of July! Wristbands are sold at the Association Office before the 4th of July. The 4th is on a Monday this year and all activities will take place on that day.

An Invitation...
Please join your friends and neighbors for a day filled with activities, laughter, and excitement.

Please remember to purchase your wristbands and to wear them to the South Lake Beach Club on the 4th. Wristbands are required for all of the following events except for the 5K/10K and Kids Run, Wheels on Parade and the Tennis Tournament.

SCHEDULE OF MORNING EVENTS
(Wristband not required for these events.)


5K/10K Run and Kids Run
5K/10K: 7:15 a.m.
Kids Run: Approx. 8:15 a.m.
Calling all runners! Compete with your neighbors and friends in the annual 4th of July race. Once again, this year’s courses will start by the North Lake Gazebo on Barranca Parkway. The Association is working with the Irvine Police Department on rerouting the 10K race. The course is officially certified by TAC. No individual times will be kept—runners are responsible for their own times.
Check-in time for the 5K and 10K runs is 6:30 a.m. The race will begin at 7:15 a.m. The Kids Run will be at approximately 8:15 a.m.

The entry fee for all pre-registered participants in the 5K/10K is $16.00 per person, which includes an official race T-shirt or $6.00 without the shirt. All 5K/10K participants who register after Saturday, July 2nd must register the day of the race and pay a $5.00 late fee.
The entry fee for the Kids Run is $10.00 per child which includes a T-shirt, or $2.00 per child without the shirt. Awards will be presented to first place finishers in each age division for both men and women, and to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place overall in the kids
1-mile run for boys and girls.

Entry forms can be picked up at the Association Office through Saturday, July 2nd at 5:00 p.m. Entries after July 2nd must be done at the race site on the day of the event. There will be a $5.00 late fee for anyone registering after July 2nd.

Wheels on Parade
10:00 a.m
Once again, we will be holding the annual parade on Barranca Parkway between Lake and Creek Road. We hope to have more participants this year than ever to help celebrate the 4th of July. We want this year’s Wheels on Parade to be one you will not forget.
This year’s parade will start and end on Barranca and Lake Street. The parade will go down Barranca as usual, and will make the turnaround at Creek and Barranca and march back down on the lake side of Barranca, thus enabling people watching the parade a better chance to see all of the creative floats.
The Association will be judging the floats and awarding prizes to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. Non-motorized floats have been a big part of the Parade and are welcome to participate in the event. This year we are adding a new category-”Best Decorated Dog.”
Bring families, neighbors, and your entire block together to create floats with a 4th of July theme. There are no size restrictions on the floats this year, but floats must be able to get under the bridge on Barranca Parkway. Entries must be at the Parade assembly area between 9:15 and 9:30 a.m. in order to be judged. Assembly will be at Barranca and Lake streets on the south side of the street.
