Kentwood of July 5K
About this race
This race is just one part of the City of Kentwood's fun filled 4th of July Celebration! On Tuesday, July 4th, there will be a pancake breakfast, parade, carnival, live music, food trucks, and of course a firework display. The race will start and finish next to Kentwood City Hall and Fire Station #1. It will include a fun course throughout the local neighborhoods and along one of our paved trails. There will be hundreds of spectators along the race route as the start/finish line is along the parade which takes place directly after our race finishes. All participants will receive a finisher medal for this race. Shirts are guaranteed if registered before June 13th. If you register after June 13th shirt sizes can't be guaranteed but we will do our best to accommodate everyone. For the safety of all participants, no baby joggers, roller blades, dogs or bicycles will be allowed on the course. Make sure to hydrate before the races starts but if needed we will have water stations along the course. Digital time clock at finish and Chip Timing!
