Firecracker 5k - Kenosha

The Firecracker 5k/1-Mile Fun Run is held annually in Kenosha, Wisconsin, at Library Park, located at 711 59th Place. This event features two distances: a USATF-certified 5k race and a 1-mile fun run/walk, both starting at 8:30 am. The scenic, closed course runs along Kenosha’s lakefront harbor and historic district, with three water stations for runner safety.

The 5k is chip-timed for accurate results, and participants receive t-shirts and medals (first 600 entrants). Awards are given for the 5k in various age groups.
