Start: 11:00 a.m. SHARP on the day of the parade. The race will immediately start at 11 am so that all runners will have time to pass the turn-around point quick enough so that the race does not hold up the parade.

Race: This race is the first event of the season and is the oldest road race in the Scranton Area.

Course: This is a 2 mile course. The course is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills. The course will be run entirely on the parade route (see parade route map). It will be an out and back course. Notice: please stay to the right at all times so you don't interfere with the other runners. The course route is subject to review and approval of the Race Director. Should changes be made, they will be announced prior to the start

Registration: Registration on the day of the race will be from 9am to 10:30am at the Lackawanna College Student Union. Registration will end promptly so that runners can have time to get to the starting line (corner of Vine and N Washington). Runners who pre-registered will pick up their race numbers and t-shirts here as well. T-shirts are provided by our sponsors and will be given to the first 100 registered runners.

Finish: The award ceremony will be held at the Lackawanna College Student Union as soon as the race is completed. This is expected to be no later than 12:00pm, so that you can enjoy the parade.

Awards: Trophies will be awarded to the first & second place male & female runners overall. Medals will be awarded to the top 2 male & female runners in the following age categories: 12 and under, 13-17, 18-22, 23-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65 & over.

    In memory of Paul "Hook" O'Malley who believed in the Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical Health of the youth in his community.

    The "1 Mile Firecracker Race" at 707 North South Road, August 16, 2026 is in memory of Paul "Hook" O'Malley, a local boxing trainer who succumbed to cancer on September 25, 1992.

    "Hook" was a tough man with a generous nature and common bond with people from all walks of life. He was at ease in a press conference or guiding a troubled adolescent. He had a moral philosophy of what was right. He would say "Straighten up and fly right!" We who believe in his philosophy and the hereafter know that he is soaring high above us with a watchful eye on all that he loves. This race will be a testament of the great love and devotion his family and friends have for his memory and worthy cause. Hook's loss is endured knowing he lives on in our hearts and souls.

    All proceeds will benefit the Lackawanna county unit of the American Cancer Society.
