48th Annual Springfield's Big Fourth 5K! 2026

Springfield's Big Fourth 5K begins and ends at the Basketball Hall of Fame on West Columbus Avenue in Springfield, Massachusetts. This Fourth of July road 5K is presented by the Greater Springfield Harriers, starting at 9 a.m. with race-day check-in at the Hall of Fame prior to the run. The course follows a Hall of Fame out-and-back or loop-style route, according to the event listing, with results published afterward by the race organizers. Participants include local club runners, students, age-group competitors, and holiday runners. Awards will be given to the top three men and women, and the top two finishers in age groups from 19-29 through 70 and over. The Harriers also operate Fast Feet, a local running store, connecting the event closely with the Western Massachusetts running community. Post-race food and refreshments are provided, and the course records stand at 15:11 for men and 17:14 for women.
