Nantucket Firecracker 5k Run & Walk
The Nantucket Firecracker 5k Run & Walk takes place on Saturday July 4, 2026 in Nantucket, Massachusetts. The event includes a 5K run and a 5K competitive walk, both starting and ending at Jetties Beach.
The course travels through residential areas and key local streets, including Beach Street and the Cliff, with the finish located on Hulbert Avenue and Bathing Beach. Awards include a free official race T shirt for the first 500 runners and walkers who pick up their race numbers, age division prizes, and postrace refreshments.
Number and T shirt pickup is at Nantucket Health Club, 10 Young’s Way. Organizers recommend early pickup on Thursday July 3 to increase the chance of receiving the correct shirt size and to avoid congestion on race day. Race day registration is available at Jetties Beach.
The listed entry fee for the run and walk is $50. Registration opens March 1, 2026. The event is organized under the Nantucket Firecracker 5k Run & Walk organizer and uses Jetties Beach as the primary venue and finish area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
