Participant Experiences

Reviews from past participants highlight varied experiences. Some describe it as a long-standing family tradition and a festive way to celebrate the Fourth of July, noting costumes worn by other runners and plentiful food in the finish area. Others mention that the race course occasionally follows a parade route, which can be lined with spectators.

Several reviews from recent years point to organizational challenges. Issues reported include separate starting locations for different distances causing confusion, difficulties with parking and road closures near the venue, and problems with timing chips not working correctly. Some participants also commented on receiving their finisher's medal in their registration packet rather than at the finish line. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
