LVHS Pioneer Firecracker 5K Fun Run/Walk
The LVHS Pioneer Firecracker is a community 5K held on July 4 at Shadow Mist Trailhead, 6441 Shadow Mist Road, Leon Valley, TX 78238. The course follows neighborhood streets and sections of the Huebner Creek Hike and Bike and is described as stroller-friendly and dog-friendly. Parking is available onsite.
The event marks the USA's 250th and includes prizes for best dressed in patriotic attire. Race entries follow tiered pricing: early bird through June 14, regular June 15–July 1, and last chance July 2 through race day. Children 12 and under have a reduced fee with chip timing that includes a t-shirt and finisher medal; a child may participate free with a paid adult but without chip timing or a shirt; a finisher medal is included in that case.
All paid registrations completed by June 22 are guaranteed a t-shirt and finisher medal; later registrations are not guaranteed these items. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers overall and to the top three male and female in age groups from 10 & under through 80+. There is no advance packet pickup for this year.
Proceeds benefit the Leon Valley Historical Society, which is raising funds to restore the Huebner-Onion Homestead and Stagecoach Stop on Bandera Road. The City of Leon Valley is acknowledged for its support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
