Ronald McDonald House Firecracker 5K

The Ronald McDonald House Firecracker 5K begins and ends at Seville Quarter in historic downtown Pensacola. This is a Fourth of July-themed 5K for runners and walkers, offering virtual run and walk options for those who wish to support the event remotely. The race benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Florida, with the main 5K commencing early in the morning. The course is focused on downtown Pensacola, not a park or suburban road loop, using Seville Quarter as the meeting point before and after the race. Red, white, and blue attire is part of the day, finisher medals are awarded, and a free Kids Fun Run takes place after the 5K. Participants gather inside Seville Quarter for a McDonald's After Party featuring drinks, giveaways, and continued focus on the charity.
