Coon Rapids Firecracker 5k Walk/Run

The Coon Rapids Firecracker 5k Walk/Run begins at 1100 Crooked Lake Boulevard NW in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, on the morning of the city’s Fourth of July. This is a timed 5K open to walkers, followed by a free Kids Sparkler Dash for children up to age 10 after the main race awards. This community holiday race offers more than a finish line: registered 5K runners receive a custom bib, shirt, finisher medal, sunglasses, swag bag, and chip timing. Post-race benefits connect it to the local celebration, including free pop or beer at the North Star Lion’s Beer Tent and bingo games at the Firefighter Bingo Tent.
