Folsom Firecracker Race

The Folsom Firecracker Race, held annually in Folsom, California, is a community-focused event celebrating the 4th of July. It features timed 2 Mile, 5K, and 10K races along the scenic Lake Natoma bike trails with views of the American River, plus a non-competitive Kids Fun Run for ages 10 and under. The event offers special divisions recognizing adaptive athletes, military personnel, first responders, cancer survivors, and stroller participants.

All finishers receive medals, and age group awards are presented. Post-race festivities include refreshments and vendor booths. Proceeds benefit local nonprofits supporting cancer patients and pediatric burn care.

The race promotes a festive, inclusive atmosphere for runners of all ages and abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
