Highland Falls Firecracker 5K

The Highland Falls Annual 4th of July Firecracker 5K is a festive running and walking event held in Highland Falls, NY, starting near Dunkin Donuts at 310 Main Street. The 3.1-mile course is relatively flat and fast, finishing at the corner of Mountain Avenue and Main Street. The race welcomes both runners and walkers with a $25 registration fee, and race day registration is available for $30.

The event also features a Children's Fun Run that requires no registration and begins shortly after the 5K concludes. Participants can pick up race packets at the local gazebo, and awards are given across multiple age groups and overall top finishers. The race takes place rain or shine, creating a lively community atmosphere on Independence Day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
