The USATF Certified 5k course is a rolling loop around the Olde Providence neighborhood and kids and grown-ups alike will enjoy the Family Fun Run. The 5K is chip-timed using the state-of-the-art My Laps timing system. After you cross the finish line, cruise on over to our results tent for live results.

​

After the race join us for a pool party, music, food and drinks at Windyrush Country Club.

​

This race benefits three fantastic organizations: the Olde Providence Elementary Foundation, Let Me Run and Girls on the Run.

​

The mission of the Olde Providence Elementary School Foundation is to raise funds to provide a healthy, challenging and enriching environment that maximizes the learning experience of every student at Olde Providence Elementary School and prepares them to succeed in the 21st century.

​

Let Me Run inspires boys through the power of running to be courageous enough to be themselves, to build healthy relationships, and to live an active lifestyle.

​

Girls on the Run inspires girls to take charge of their lives and define the future on their terms.

A special thank you to ALL participants and the organizers and sponsors of the Firecracker 5K!
