The Firecracker 5K
The Firecracker 5K suits every runner or walker! Flat, fast and easy does it for this fun holiday event. The course starts just outside beautiful Jarvis Creek Park on the grassy slope of the William Hilton Parkway. Participants will follow a simple loop on a tree-lined road and finish right inside the park. Following the run, participants will enjoy a well-deserved cold drink with friends and family and a fun-filled day in the sun on beautiful Hilton Head Island.
Children’s Fun Run
Kids can join in the festivities, too! Parents can pre-register their child for the fun run online or at packet pick-up on July 3rd or 4th. Registration is $12 per child (a $3 late fee is added after June 26th) and includes a bib, t-shirt and ribbon! We recommend pre-registration to guarantee a t-shirt. This race is for kids 8-years-old and younger, and also takes place in Jarvis Creek Park.
Beginning at 9AM, the race is broken down into three heats:
• Age 3 and under: 25-yards run beginning at 9AM
