Event Description

Kick off July 4th with the El Toro Chargers and support the El Toro High School PSTO. Enjoy our mostly flat (and fast!) 5K course on the streets on Lake Forest, following the Fourth of July Parade route!

Proceeds are used to fund El Toro High School's Education Booster Program which covers everything from shop supplies to projectors, to foreign language magazines or tables for activities. It enables teachers and staff to enrich our students' academic experience. This is not money that goes to sports groups or clubs:  It is meant to benefit the broadest range of students as possible.

The El Toro Chargers 5K has become more than a fundraiser. It is a community event for the City of Lake forest and the surrounding area. Over 1,000 runners plus supporters and vendors come out. Many families have made this a part of their Fourth of July celebration for years, with their children returning home from college or on vacation and running with their parents.
