🎆 It's a Fourth of July Celebration!
If you think the only race that':s happening on America':s 249th Birthday weekend is seeing who':s first to snag that second helping of BBQ or who can down that cold beverage the fastest, guess again! Before lifting a fork, diving off the back of your boat, and taking that post pool party snooze, hundreds of American':s will start their holiday by joining forces and celebrating with other patriots at America':s 5k!
- Honor to Heroes: If you are an American Hero, we want to honor you with a land of the FREE race bib!
- Participants: We’re celebrating elite runners, weekend warriors, mommas with strollers, and kids alike to join us for 3.1 miles of Birthday FUN!
- Join Us: If you have a flair for costumed fun and are looking for a reason to feel guilt free about BBQ and lounging all day, feel like the stars and stripes are in your favor, and LOVE AMERICA -- make a like a firecracker and shoot on over to register today!
- Proceeds: As with all First Flight Alliance events, proceeds go to scholarship kids in the community to be active through our Operation Active Kids, OAK program.
