Kick off your Fourth of July the Epic Races way: join us in downtown Ann Arbor on the 4th of July for our classic Firecracker 5K: Run, Walk, or Ruck! Our 3.1-mile course gets underway at a truly red,
white, and blue locale: the intersection of Liberty and 4th... where else would you start a race on the 4th of July? Racers then loop around downtown and come in for a spectacular star-spangled finish in front of thousands of spectators.
2025 Schedule of Events:
6:30 AM — Packet Pick-Up and Race-Day Registration open

Add an all-American angle to your outing by opting for one of our 3 special holiday divisions:
☆It's Back for 2026☆
Rucking Division: Rucking is simply walking or hiking while carrying a weighted rucksack or backpack. It is a staple of military training, as soldiers must be able to carry weapons, food and other supplies for long distances. Embrace an even HEAVIER challenge when you sign up for the Ruck Division.
The Flag Carrying Division: Participants in this patriotic category will run or walk their 5K proudly bearing a mounted 3 x 5 American flag from start to finish.
Hot Dog Eating Division: It’s simply not the Fourth of July without hot dogs, and those who choose this challenge — up to 20 competitors — will try to chow down on four dogs in 76 seconds, then get their 5K underway. Consider it our version of the world-famous Nathan’s Hot-Dog Eating Contest, which is held annually in New York City every Independence Day.
Don't have the time for 5K? Try our timed 1-Mile Fun Run! A fun, friendly course awaits runners and walkers of all ages who want to show their Firecracker fervor but with a little less mileage. Whether you choose to make it competitive or relaxed, enjoy this frolic through downtown on the 4th of July!
Our littlest firecrackers are invited to make a bang all their own in our Kids’ 200-Meter Dash. Open to competitors ages 8 and under, our Kids’ Dash offers children the opportunity soar like eagles down Liberty Street, completing their race at the same finish line as Mom or Dad!
Kids can continue celebrating Independence Day at the corner of State and William, where they can take part in the Epic Races float in the Ann Arbor Jaycees' 4th of July parade (accompanied by a parent or guardian)!
The Firecracker 5K is walker friendly!
Sunglasses and medals for all participants in all divisions!

It is not a requirement for athletes to continuously swim their designated distance; resting by using the lane ropes or side walls is permitted and encouraged if needed. Athletes may use any stroke in the swim that they are comfortable with.
Athletes are responsible for counting their own laps
Spectators: due to limited space, spectators will be able to view from the back end of our pool deck.
TRANSITION AREA (SPONSORED BY FRIEDL DENTISTRY AND MORRICE TRANSPORTATION):
The Transition Area in a triathlon is the section of the course that is set out to hold your bikes and equipment for the 3 stages (swimming, cycling, and running) of the race. You will use this twice; once to change from your swim to your bike, and the second time from your bike to your run.
Athletes will place (rack) their bikes, helmet on the designated rack, with their gear placed under their bike.
Bike racks will be marked with AGE GROUP signs which are the same colour as the race bib.
Athletes enter the Transition Area, after their swim, walking or running down the swim chute path. Volunteers will assist athletes throughout their transition from swimming to biking.
Athletes in the 3-5 age group will have a separate Transition Area. One parent (wearing a VIP race bib) will be allowed to assist their athlete in transition for the 3-5 age group.
After the swim, athletes should dry off with their towel and put on shorts and a shirt over their bathing suit with their race number already pinned on.
Parents are allowed in transition to help set up their athlete(s) gear before the race. Parents are not allowed in the Transition Area during the race (except in the 3-5 year old age group)
Parents are not permitted to participate with their athlete and will not be allowed to pace or guide their athlete on the bike and/or run course. We encourage you to watch from designated spectator areas and enjoy the experience while loudly cheering on both your athlete and others racing!
Bike helmets must be on and the chin strap buckled at all times while the athlete is in contact with their bike.
Please wait until the race is completely over before removing belongings. Our live race day host will announce when the transition area is open to the public.

All helmets must comply with either CPSC or CSA standards as indicated by a label inside the helmet.

As there could be many bikes on the course at one time, volunteers will do their best to count loops and indicate when athletes are on their final loop.
Ultimately, it is your athlete’s responsibility to count their bike loops.
RUN COURSE (SPONSORED BY THE RUNNING FACTORY):
Athletes will be directed to the “OFF MY BIKE” sign where our volunteers will have you dismount from your ride.
Athletes can walk or run with their bike back into the transition area. No riding bikes in the transition area.
Athletes can remove all their bike gear, store it beside their bike, and put on their running gear.
Race numbers must now be visible on the front of the athlete’s torso to allow our volunteers to direct athletes to the proper number of run loops.
The run course is a vehicle free 500m rectangular loop in the parking lot of the WFCU Centre. The run course is paved and very flat.
There will be multiple volunteers, officials and emergency personnel on site.
Older age groups will do multiple loops to complete their respective distance.
There will be 1 water station set up for all age groups; older age groups will pass the water station several times.
Please make sure your athlete(s) understand the run loop process. The number of required run loops will be marked on their hand with permanent marker to assist them through the race. Example: R2 = 2 loops on the run.
As there could be many runners on the run at one time, volunteers will do their best to count loops and indicate when athletes are on their final loop.
Ultimately, it is your athlete’s responsibility to count their run loops.
LENGTH & LOOP COUNTING:
Be sure your athlete knows how many LENGTHS in the pool and LOOPS of the bike and run course they are required to complete.
It is the responsibility of the athlete to keep track of the required loops.
The number of lengths of the pool will be reviewed with each wave before starting.
The number of bike and run loops will be marked on each athlete’s left hand with permanent marker.
BIKE INSPECTION (CYCLE CULTURE):
We recommend that you take your bikes in for a pre-race bike inspection the week before the race.
Inspections at a bike shop will include checks on brakes, steering, inflation pressure, tire condition, chain, and pedals.
On the day of the race, staff from Cycle Culture bike shop will be on hand to assist with last minute repairs before the race begins. Thank you!
POST-RACE HOSPITALITY (SPONSORED BY TIM HORTONS AND SUBWAY):
Athletes are welcome to enjoy all the post-race refreshments in our hospitality area after they have completed their race including sandwiches from Subway, assorted items from Tim Hortons, water, juice and snacks.
We will not have post-race food available for purchase for spectators; please bring your own water and snacks as needed.
A variety of draw prizes from some of our great sponsors will be pre-selected for each age group and posted for your convenience.
Lost and found items are gathered and left at the race site. The organizers are not responsible for items left at the race.
There are no age group awards for this event. The finishing time of each athlete will be posted in alphabetical order and not in order of completion time within each age group as we encourage and celebrate participation.
We will take this opportunity to remind athletes and parents that this is a non-competitive event series and we are not disqualifying, holding back, or adjusting times for any participant who does not completed the required distance.

The Running To Honor 5K is a timed, family friendly walk (or run) focused on keeping the memory of our Fallen Soldiers & Veterans alive and reminding others that Freedom is never free. The event will
take place on Saturday, July 25th, 2026 inside Heritage Park located at 12111 Pardee Rd, Taylor, MI 48180. The start time of the 5K walk (or run) is 8:00 AM in front of the Sheridan Pavilion. The Kids .5K will start at 7:30 AM.
The theme this year is military Veteran mental health. Every day there are 20 to 22 Veterans losing their battle with PTSD. That is a nice way of saying that they intentionally or unintentionally took their own lives. We are hoping we can educate others in the community about how Veterans go from serving our country to ending their lives way too early and more importantly what everyone can do make a difference in the life of a military Veteran so that tomorrow seems a little brighter for them.
We will also be saying the names of all of our Fallen Soldiers and Fallen Veterans before the 5K and walking (or running) in memory of them.
The Taylor Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 4422, My Warriors Place and Running To Honor organizations will receive the proceeds raised from this event.
We recognize that families want to bring their kids to the Running To Honor 5K but the registration cost might be too much or their kids might not be able to walk (or run) 3.1 miles. As a result we have two events for kids 14 and under! We offer a special discounted price for the 5K walk (or run) and a .5K (that is Point 5K) which is roughly .31 miles. The hope is that this will encourage families to come out and support the cause.
If you can't walk (or run) just come out and enjoy the atmosphere and look at the names and picture of those Fallen Soldiers and Fallen Veterans that we have lost.
