FROM THE FAITHFUL...

"This is an amazing event and it gets better every year!"

Jerry from Madison, WI

"It's not your typical fun run, there are lots of cool twists to the Firecracker that we love about it. We've been coming each year since it began!"

Mary Beth from Mound, MN

"This was my second run and it was a very pleasant experience. There weren't the stresses that come with a timed run, and our whole family enjoyed it very much."
