Trail Fridays Hosts Successful Firecracker Challenge

Trail Fridays recently hosted the Firecracker Challenge, a virtual run/walk event that brought together our vibrant community for an exciting and rewarding experience. Participants could choose between the Firecracker 4-Mile Dash, representing the 4th of July, and the Liberty 13-Mile Run, symbolizing the 13 original colonies.

From June 28th to July 4th, runners and walkers of all levels hit the trails, greenbelts, neighborhoods, and treadmills to complete their chosen distances. We were thrilled to see so many participants, some tackling their very first race and others achieving their longest distances ever!
