Get ready for a cracking time! Celebrate Independence Day at the 35th annual Hilton Head Firecracker 5K. This run and family fun walk will kick-off at 8 a.m. on Sunday, July 4th in beautiful Jarvis Creek Park on Hilton Head Island.

During these uncertain times, we want you to know that we have your best interests in mind. While we’re optimistic that we’ll be able to host a safe in-person race, if the event is cancelled, you’ll be notified via email and will be able to choose between a refund, a deferral to the 2022 event, or an entry into the Firecracker 5K Virtual Run. If you choose the virtual run, you'll get all your race swag shipped directly to your door. Please click here for terms and conditions.

For the safety of participants, volunteers, and race staff, some elements of the event may be modified as we get closer to race day. Any necessary modifications will be communicated prior to the event via email, on our social media platforms, and on our website.
