Sage Lake Firecracker 5K
About this race
Welcome to the 13th annual Sage Lake Firecracker 5K!
Welcome to Sage Lake's largest and most popular community event! Join us at the intersection of Kenyon and Maple Roads at 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 4. Also please wear your best red, white and blue to help make this annual event colorful and extra fun. The morning will kick off with the kids' half-mile Sparkler Sprint for ages 10 and younger, starting promptly at 8:30 a.m. The Firecracker 5K fun run will begin promptly at 9 a.m. The race route is a loop. It will take participants up Kenyon Drive and onto Sage Lake Road before turning into the Sunset/Hawthorne neighborhood loop along the lake, then back onto Sage Lake Road, Kenyon Drive, then return to the start. Water stations are available along the route. The Sparkler Sprint is for ages 10 and younger and has its own registration option. Participants will receive a youth shirt, race bib, and a medal. Kids can also register for the 5K and run or walk with adults. Firecracker 5K registrants will receive a T-shirt, race bib and a special finisher gift. We received quite a bit of feedback last year that participants have a lot of medals, so we're giving away something a little different at the finish line. Shirts and bibs will also be available for pick-up 4-7 p.m. Friday, July 3, at race headquarters — the SLA Store adjacent to Kenyon's Lakeside Resort. Shirts and bibs will also be available on race day, but we can't guarantee all sizes will be available. We're also thrilled to offer the Zero K option again this year: You get a T-shirt while supplies last, and the satisfaction of supporting the lake without exerting yourself. Yay, you! Proceeds pay for Sage Lake's beautiful fireworks, which are on Fourth of July this year. Thank you again for supporting the Sage Lake community! Please share this link with friends and family — the more the merrier!Join fellow runners on July 2, 2016 for the Sage Lake Firecracker 5K. It's a fantastic 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Hale.
