About
Feel the burn, chase the thrill, and join us for a day of epic racing and Independence Day festivities! For 38 years, the Rotary Club of Santa Cruz Sunrise has ignited the sparks of competition with our sizzling Firecracker race, and we’re fired up to announce its return this July 4th. Whether you're game for the iconic "Thrill of the Hill" in the 10K, aiming for a personal best in the flat and fast 5K (yes, strollers and wheelchairs, this means you!), or cheering on the little champs in the Kid's 1K Fun Run, there’s something for everyone at Harvey West Park. Snap up a spot among the first 500 and score an exclusive race shirt! But hold onto your running caps—demand is high, and those preferred sizes are sprinting off the shelves. Every course chart is just a click away for your strategizing pleasure. And after you've conquered the course, kick back with live music, scrumptious post-race burritos, and awards aplenty. Remember, bring your squad! Refer five friends to lace up their sneakers, and you could sprint to a registration refund. Let's celebrate freedom with strides and pride—see you at the starting line!
