Four on the 4th Road Race Celebrates Independence Day YORK York Parks and Recreation, in partnership with the York Rotary Club, is excited to announce the annual “Four on the 4th Road Race” taking place Tuesday, July 4 at York High School, 1 Robert Stevens Dr, York. The exhilarating four-mile race along Long Sands beach in York promises to be a highlight of area Independence Day celebrations. This year, the Rotary Club is offering cash prizes to the top three male and top three female finishers.

The race kicks off promptly at 7:30 a.m. The “Four on the 4th” is known for its scenic route, offering runners a chance to enjoy the picturesque beauty

of the area, all while supporting a worthy cause. All proceeds from the run will directly benefit the York Rotary Club and their impactful charitable contributions

towards the community. The York Rotary gives out an annual scholarship to a York High Student seeking higher education, helping to make education affordable for local youth. The rotary also has a “Student of the Month” program that recognizes the hard work of one York Middle School student every month. The Rotary makes a monthly charitable donation in the student’s name to a cause of their choice, teaching kids about the importance of hard work and charity. The event is made possible

thanks to the generous support of the Rotary’s sponsors, particularly “Pillar Sponsors” Estes Oil, Aland Realty, Norcom Mortgage-Darcy Bastarache, and Simpson Financial Strategies. Deadline to register for the race is Sunday, July 2, by 8 p.m. Anyone interested in participating is urged to register as soon as possible to secure a spot. The first 500 participants to register will receive commemorative race t-shirts.

Hall, beginning at 9:15 p.m. The rain date is Wednesday, July 5 at the same time. The celebration is

an alcohol-free, family-friendly event. For details, visit www. cityofportsmouth.com.
