About
Get ready to light up the streets at the Sportspectrum Firecracker 5k Race for Research Run & Healthwalk – celebrating 40 fiery years of racing, remembrance, and research! Powered by our Title Sponsor, Spine Institute of Louisiana Foundation, we're dedicated to progress in spine treatments and honoring our dear friends Ran Kiper, Jim Wilhite, & Robin Fell, whose passions for outdoor adventures inspired us all.
This July 4th, 2025, you can sprint for the win with $2,500 in prize money at stake, or enjoy a scenic run through South Highland's historic neighborhood. Kids can join the fun with a 1/2 mile run and a guaranteed medal, while everyone can bask in the vibrant post-race party with food, drinks, and the best patriotic tunes!
Your participation means more than just a good time – it supports vital research and keeps the community spirit blazing. Register early to snag your T-shirt and be a part of this cherished tradition. Let's set the pace for change together!
