Start your 4th of July with a bang by running the 48th edition of the Firecracker Four! A tradition for many to start the holiday with a 4 mile run OR a 1.4 mile walk through the neighborhoods of Hales Corners. Come join over 1200 of your family, friends, and neighbors for the post race celebration. We will have cookies, chocolate milk, and other refreshments. The Firecracker Four is just one of many events featured by the Hales Corners Fourth of July Committee. Come for the race and stay all day to enjoy the festivities!
