Attention all artists ages 13-18!

BYS annual 4th of July Fun Run t-shirt contest time has arrived.  Please see flyer below for submission details. We cannot wait to see what creative design will be on the race t-shirt this year!

Fun Run Registration is not Open Yet for 2025

Thank you for helping us to make this the best BYS 4th of July Fun Run yet!

Yes, it’s fun! For you, your friends, neighbors, and our community. What better way to kick off your July 4th celebration than with a fun run that supports BYS and mental health.

This 45-year-old island tradition includes the 5k, 1 mile, and Kids Dash for kids 7 and under. We will have chip timing for the 5k and 1 mile races, and yes, the iconic BYS t-shirt, which has been selected by the community this year.

All proceeds benefit BYS and our mission to support the mental health of youth and their families.

Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to register now. For those reluctant to participate, there’s another way! Please ask them to sponsor you and your team to help support BYS programming.

Registrants will receive a race bib and t-shirt while supplies last. Pick up your gear early to ensure you get a shirt and beat the crowds.

Check out the Race Details for information on registration and fees, and where and when to pick up your race bibs and t-shirts.

Volunteers needed!

We have not started collecting volunteers yet for the 2025 Fun Run. Please check back later after we have opened registration for the event.

We can’t wait to see you early on the 4th of July!
