The first 850 entries are guaranteed the coveted Firecracker T-shirt, so SIGN UP EARLY!
New For 2013
- Donation option for the Butch Baker/Elizabeth Butler Scholarship Fund
- Special long sleeve shirts for top finishers.
- Medals for top three finishers in expanded 5-year age groups.
- New, flat, fast, certified 5K course.
Now in its fourth year, the flat, fast 5K course will be certified this year and modified to an out and back route that eliminates the third loop. The new course is great for runners and walkers of all ages and still great for spectators!
As always, the little kids can join in an exciting 1K fun run that starts 30 minutes before the main event.
Breakfast after an awards ceremony that features medals to the top finishers in five-year age groups!
