Easley Firecracker Frolic 5K
The Easley Firecracker Frolic 5K is a community 5-kilometer road event held in Easley, South Carolina, with the start and finish at Old Market Square in downtown Easley. The event is presented by the Easley Lions Club and follows the same course used in previous years.
Participants may run, jog, or walk and are encouraged to wear red, white and blue. The course is not closed to traffic, so cars may be present; intersections will be monitored by police and Lions Club volunteers. The event will proceed in rainy conditions, and the start may be delayed if there is lightning.
Early packet pickup takes place at Academy Sports in Easley on July 3. Race day registration is available beside the start line on the morning of the race, and the organizer has set a registration deadline to guarantee a T-shirt. Age group awards cover multiple ranges from youth through 75 and older, and cash prizes are offered for the top three overall male and female finishers. The event also includes unusual prize drawings.
Proceeds support a range of vision, disability and community programs and services, including assistance with glasses and eye exams for Pickens County residents, Lions Vision Services, Storm Eye Institute, Leader Dog School, Rocky Bottom Camp for the Blind, Camp Lions Den, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, the South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind, United Christian Ministries Feet for Heat, and other local relief organizations.
