Description
Celebrate the 4th of July with the Firecracker 5K at the Riverside Park in Bryson City, NC. The race is followed by the Freedom Festival. There's fun for the whole family with events all day, and fireworks at night. You can add whitewater rafting, a train ride, or waterfall hikes. Make a big holiday in a small town.
The Rotary Club of Bryson City hosts the 36th Annual 5K with a course that starts and finishes in the historic town of Bryson City, and meanders through Deep Creek Community, gateway to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
