About
3K First-Gen Fun Run
Everyone who comes to Irvine shares a common vision – the American Dream. The 3K First-Gen Fun Run celebrates the colorful melting pot of first-generation immigrants, those who love Irvine, and all who believe in the American Dream. Run or walk, this family-friendly event honors the First-Gen spirit and showcases Irvine’s vibrant mix of cultures and perspectives.
