Description

Welcome to the 38th Anniversary of the Sportspectrum Firecracker 5k Race for Research Run & Healthwalk.

This coming July 4th, our Nation’s Birthday promises to be celebrated with a special passion and purpose by Americans from coast to coast.

The 38th running also brings a special milestone to myself and this great run.

The year was 1985, Springlake Point Apartments, and about 45 weekend warriors took the streets of Springlake to run the first Annual Firecracker.

Scott Smith was our first overall male with a time of 15:37 and Terry Davis won the ladies crown in 19:00 flat.

It has been a great ride and a lot of fun sharing my July 4th with all my favorite friends.
