Jaycees 42nd Annual Firecracker Four-Miler and Fun Run
The Cranford Jaycees’ annual Firecracker Four Miler and Fun Run will once again be held in person this July 4th at Nomahegan Park after going virtual last year.
“We’re excited to have the Firecracker back as part of Cranford’s Fourth of July tradition,” said David Farrell of the Cranford Jaycees, who co-chairs the event with Roger Imhof. “We’re seeing a really positive response from the community so far.”
The course takes place on a flat, USATF-certified scenic course on tree-lined streets and bike trails. Mile splits, water stops, and chip timing are provided. Technical race shirts and souvenir race pint glasses are included with registration.
The logo for this year’s race was designed by Cranford High School senior Delaney Bertrand under the tutelage of CHS teacher Patrick Gorman.
Proceeds from the race benefit the Cranford Jaycees scholarship program. The Jaycees recently awarded a total of $30,000 in scholarships to twenty graduating high school seniors in Cranford. Brighton Air Corp. returns as the race’s title sponsor for the third consecutive year.
Registration is now live at www.raceforum.com/fire-4 and will be available up until race day. The virtual participation option is available again this year for participants who will be away for the holiday.
