The Palisades Will Rogers 5 & 10K Race on the Fourth of July attracts runners from all over the country, and that was the case again this year. Eight-year-old Elizabeth Stanton from Washington, D.C., took first place in the 10K in the Female 9-and-under age division, finishing the 6.2-mile course to Will Rogers State Historic Park and back in one hour, 21 minutes, 36 seconds. Her father John Stanton, 51, is a Pacific Palisades native and went to Corpus Christi School and Harvard-Westlake High. He returns every summer to run his hometown race.
