The recent opening of California and subsequent removal of many social distancing requirements means the Firecracker 5K will be able to provide the best of both worlds – a group start at 8:00 am on race day for those who want to run together, and socially distanced starts for those who don’t want to start with the larger group.

Each participant will receive a swag bag with a dry-release running cap, collapsible water bottle, finisher medal and post-race snacks.
