For the 23rd year in a row, Moraga began its Fourth of July festivities with the Annual Fun Run.

Before the start of the races, Lleyton Allen (Campo '22) treated the crowd to a stirring rendition of the National Anthem. The 5-mile race was won by RJ Bloomer (Kensington) in 25:41 while Flora Lai from Houston, Texas won the women's race in 28:40.
