July 4 @ 9:00 am
The Almanor Recreation and Park District’s 42nd annual Chester 4th of July Fun Run will take place at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, July 4, 2023. The one mile run/walk will start on the Collins Pine lawn and proceed down Chester’s historic Main Street to the finish at the Bidwell House.
Participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt and enjoy refreshments at the finish line. After the event, there will be a 4th of July Craft Fair at Chester Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a 4th of July Parade starting at 11 a.m. on Main Street. The Craft Fair is sponsored by the Chester Elks and the Parade is sponsored by the Lake Almanor Area Chamber of Commerce.
Registration is open now at http://www.chesterfunrun.com. Participants are encouraged to sign up now, as on-line registration ends on June 30th. Last year’s event drew over 400 participants of all ages and abilities, with many dressed in costume or their favorite 4th of July colors.
The Fun Run is the Almanor Recreation and Park District’s largest fundraising event and all proceeds benefit District programs and events, as well as capital improvement projects, with an emphasis on recreation, parks and trails.
