The Worthington Hills Firecracker Trot 5K starts and finishes at Worthington Hills Elementary School on Candlewood Drive in Columbus, Ohio. This is a neighborhood 5K connected to the Worthington Hills Civic Association's July 4th events, with an 8:30 a.m. start and race-day packet pickup from 7:15 a.m.
The course winds through the Worthington Hills neighborhoods, making this a local holiday-weekend race instead of a large-scale event. The event is in its 55th year, shirts are reserved for the first 200 registrants before June, and parking is limited, so arriving early is important.
