Thursday, July 4, 2024

Join us for the annual family-friendly Coon Rapids Firecracker 5k Walk/Run and Kid’s Sparkler Dash in conjunction with the Coon Rapids 4th of July Celebration! This event has chip-timed results and a safe and scenic route through city streets and shaded parks where the start line and finish line are at the same location. Enjoy the festive 4th of July decorated houses throughout your run, two water stops, and some AMAZING swag! Each participant will receive a race shirt, sunglasses, swag bag with additional goodies and a ticket for a free beer (21+) or pop from the North Star Lion’s beer tent. All finishers will receive a beer-opener commemorative medal. We have prizes for the top 3 male and top 3 female finishers! Following the 5k Awards Ceremony, we have a FREE Kid’s Sparkler Dash that ends at the finish line. Each child participant will receive a finishers medal, coloring book, crayons, and a popsicle!
