Thousands came together Sunday in the South Bay for a 5K run with many racing in red, white, and blue. 

An estimated 3,000 participants showed up for the 29th annual Village Runner Independence Day 5K run, which got underway at 8 a.m. 

The Redondo Beach Educational Foundation receives the proceeds. Over the course of 28 years, the charity has received about $200,000.

Some of the athletes include runners that previously went to Redondo and Palos Verdes high schools.
