About this race
The Gypsy Hill Park Firecracker 5K is a July 4 race in Staunton, Virginia, starting and finishing within Gypsy Hill Park. It is Staunton's largest 5K, beginning early before the city's Happy Birthday America parade. The race proceeds rain or shine, timed by Blue Ridge Timing, with results available via text or email shortly after completion.
The course is a gently rolling 5K through the park, suitable for those seeking a competitive race within the holiday setting. The field comprises competitive runners vying for overall and age-group awards, alongside local participants enjoying the Fourth of July atmosphere and crowd support. Overall male and female winners receive Hoka running shoes from Sole Focus Running. Awards extend to age groups from 10 and under to 76 and over. Race proceeds benefit the Salvation Army's Pathway of Hope Program, assisting local families toward stability and self-sufficiency.
