Ann Arbor Firecracker 5K: Run, Walk, or Ruck

Celebrate the Fourth of July with this race, starting at a red, white, and blue locale and finishing in front of thousands of spectators. A Rucking Division challenges participants to carry a weighted rucksack. The Flag Carrying Division requires participants to carry a mounted 3 x 5 American flag. In the Hot Dog Eating Division, participants attempt to eat four hot dogs in 76 seconds before the run. The Kids’ Dash takes place down Liberty Street. A 1-Mile Fun Run is also available and is walker friendly.
