This 2025 race honors the legacy of the Marquis de Lafayette. Start your Fourth of July weekend off by participating in either the live or virtual Yorktown Independence Day 8K/5K Run/Walk.  The York County Historical Museum is still accepting  registrations for its annual Yorktown Independence Day 8K/5K Run/Walk and offers both in-person and virtual options this year. New this year will be an 8K Ruck, and youth ages 15 and under will receive a discounted rate in both the 8K and 5K. The 8K race begins at 8 a.m. along the scenic tour roads and trails of the Yorktown Battlefield—the same path American and French allies took to win the last major battle of the Revolutionary War to secure our nation’s independence. Participants registered by 12 p.m. on June 20 receive a t-shirt. Those signed up after that date will receive a t-shirt while supplies last, so sign up early to ensure you get one! At the finish line, the first 350 registered runners to cross the finish line will receive a custom die cast commemorative medal. The family-friendly 5K Fun Run/Walk is not timed, but the first 150 registered will receive a challenge coin. Adult registration is $60 for the 8K and $50 for the 5K. Youth registration (ages 15 and under) is $45 for the 8K and $40 for the 5K.  Refreshments will be served at the finish line.
