About the Event
The Deltaville 5K & Kids Fun Run is a beloved Independence Day tradition that brings together runners, walkers, families, and visitors for a scenic, community‑focused race in the heart of Deltaville, VA. Held on Saturday, July 4, 2026, this year’s event proudly celebrates Independence Day and our nation’s quincentennial with a morning of fitness, fun, and community spirit.
The event benefits the Deltaville Community Association (DCA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting community life in Deltaville.
