26TH ANNUAL FIRECRACKER 5K BECOMES VIRTUAL RACE

DEAR STRIDERS,

WE WANT TO CONTINUE OUR ANNUAL JULY 4TH FIRECRACKER 5K RUN/WALK IN A
VIRTUAL FORMAT THIS YEAR TO PROTECT EVERYONE’S HEALTH AS WE BATTLE THE COVID-19 VIRUS PANDEMIC.

YOU MAY COMPLETE YOUR 3.1 MILE OR 5K RUN/WALK DISTANCE BETWEEN MAY
15 AND JULY 4TH ON A ROUTE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, ON A TREADMILL, OR

ON THE ACTUAL COURSE AT HHSP (IF THE PARK LOOP IS OPEN—CHECK AHEAD OF TIME). CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED COURSE DIRECTIONS VIA EMAIL AT: cbrojek@comcast.net. THEN REPORT YOUR TIME VIA EMAIL TO THE ABOVE EMAIL OR TEXT TO 863-712-3524 AND INCLUDE NAME AND AGE.

EACH PARTICIPANT WILL EARN A SHIRT IF THEY PAID THE ADULT FEE, A RACE BIB
TO RECORD YOUR TIME ON, AND AN AWESOME 4TH OF JULY MEDAL. PACKETS
MAY BE PICKED UP AT HHSP ON JULY 3 FROM 4:OO TO 7:00 AND ON RACE MORNING FROM 7:00 UNTIL 10:00 A.M. IF UNABLE TO PICK UP YOUR PACKET, YOUR SHIRT, MEDAL AND RACE BIB WILL BE MAILED TO YOUR HOME ADDRESS.

THE RACE BENEFITS THE AVON PARK HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS AND YOUTH RUNNING IN OUR AREA AS IN YEARS PAST.

JOIN IN THE FUN AS WE CONTINUE THIS HIGHLANDS COUNTY RUNNING TRADITION TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH OF JULY!

GOD BLESS THE USA!
RUN ON!
