Start your 4th of July with a firecracker bang!
Welcome to the 44th running of the Firecracker Four. This has been a tradition for many family and friends to start the holiday with a 4-mile run OR a 1.7 mile walk through the neighborhoods of Hales Corners. The race starts and finishes at Hales Corners Park.  There is great crowd support before, during and after the race.
Come join over 1,200 of your family, friends and neighbors for the after-race celebration.  We will have cookies, chocolate milk, water/Gatorade/soda and beer. This is the first of many events Hales Corners has on the 4th of July.  Come for this race stay for the Holz car show, pet costume contest, parade, fireworks and more.
We are proud to be a RRCA State Championship Event!
