Pleasant Lake, Fire Burst 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run
Fire Burst is a small community 5K and kids run held at Lion's Park on Pleasant Lake in Rockville, Minnesota. The 5K begins in the morning from the park on Lake Road, and the Kids 1K Fun Run starts first on the park trail, entirely within Lion's Park. It is a relaxed local event, not chip-timed, with each participant receiving a custom Fire Burst medal. The 5K starts along Pleasant Lake on Lake Road, goes through nearby neighborhoods, and returns to Lion's Park with a fast downhill section and a flat final mile. The morning also includes a pancake and sausage breakfast, with young children eating free. All race proceeds support the Pleasant Lake Area Homeowners Association fireworks fund, tying the run directly to the lake community's summer celebration.
