About the KELLER FIRECRACKER 5K & 10K

The course runs out and back from City Hall, keeping things straightforward and easy to follow. The terrain is flat the whole way, which suits runners who want to move quickly as much as those just getting started. Starting on Independence Day weekend gives the morning a distinct feel, with the post-race gathering adding to it.

Packet pickup is available at a local running store on the two days before the race, with additional pickup at the Keller Natatorium area on race morning before the start.

Common Questions About the KELLER FIRECRACKER 5K & 10K

Will I finish last at the KELLER FIRECRACKER 5K & 10K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:56, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:50, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the KELLER FIRECRACKER 5K & 10K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 209 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the KELLER FIRECRACKER 5K & 10K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:23 while the median finisher took 34:56. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
