The Firecracker runs on a holiday weekend in Nisswa, a small lake-country town in the northern part of the state. The race offers a shorter and a longer road option, plus a kids' run, so families tend to show up together. The setting is quiet resort-town Minnesota, where the weekend already carries a holiday rhythm.
