Organiser's Description
Start the 4th of July off on the right note and join us for the annual Firecracker 5K Fun Run!
New this year: Please sign up ahead of time! We'll have bibs to make the finish scoring a bit easier and more organized.
We'll get started at 8:30am for a hilly and somewhat challenging route that'll take us around our beautiful neighborhood. The 5K route will be the same as in years past, and will be covered again on race morning. The scooter division will go left on Masters Drive, right onto Buckboard Court, around the cul-de-sac, and back to the start/finish line.
We've added a new category this year: Best Dressed!
Trophies are again available this year for the top finishers in each division:
4th of July Firecracker Fun Run Divisions: trophy for each division winner!
(first three categories boys and girls will have a winner, last three will be overall, so 9 trophies total)
* 1st Place: Kids under 12 years
* 1st Place: Young Adults 13-21 years
* 1st Place: Adults 22+
---
* 1st Place: Stroller Division
* 1st Place: Scooter Division
* 1st Place: Best Dressed (bring your July 4th spirit!)
We will have two coolers with ice/water/gatorade on the corners of Hackamore and River Falls Drive.
