The Island Lake North Firecracker 5K & Fun Run is all about celebrating community, movement, and patriotic spirit, not competition. This is a non-timed, non-award-based event, so there will be no official prizes for finish times.

That said, for those who are curious about their performance, we’ll be handing out popsicle sticks at the finish line to help track your finish order. Times will be posted later for anyone interested.

Prize Drawings After the Race!
Stick around after you cross the finish line, we’ll be doing random drawings for fun prizes. You must be present to win, so don’t run off too fast!
