Course Description: One word...Fast!  The race route runs along the 4th of July parade route, 15 minutes before the 4th of July parade. Want that experience of people cheering for you in a race? This is the race for you. Sign up and let the parade crowd "push" you to the finish!

Online Registration is open through June 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Race registration is free for Sub5 track club members with current membership standing. Members must register membership in advance and use Runsignup login to receive online discount. Prior to June 30 registration for non-members is $15 per person and $45 for a family of four (fourth person will not be charged the $15 fee).

Bib pick-up for all pre-registered runners and race-day registration will be at Brewer Auditorium from 8:00 to 9:05 a.m.  BIB PICK-UP AND REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 9:05 a.m.! Race day registration will be $25. Team registration pricing on race day is $75. Race-day registration is cash or check only.

Water and post-race snacks will be available at the race finish.

AGAIN THIS YEAR! Our race participant item is being upgraded from cotton to a tech shirt. Because this comes with an additional cost and other increased costs we've decided to make it an add-on. This means, you can register for the race for the same low price (free for Sub5 members) but if you want the shirt it is an additional $12. Details are in the registration. 

Course Records: Riley Masters 8:02 (2011), Ruth White 9:26 (2023)
