Kick off your Independence Day in true all-American style at the Grand Slam 5K, a Fourth of July tradition that blends fast running with classic summer fun.
The highlight of the course comes at the end, when runners sprint through the gates and cross the finish line inside Classic Park's field, greeted by applause, music, and classic 4th of July vibes. After the race, the celebration continues with hot dogs fresh off the grill and ice-cold beer, the perfect reward for a hard-earned finish.
