About the Paxton Masonic Lodge 4th of July 5K
The race runs through Paxton on the holiday morning, starting and finishing at Pells Park. It benefits a Masonic children's charity, and the organizers set out a donation bucket at registration for anyone who wants to contribute a little extra. Electronic timing means you can sort results by age group and gender once they post.
Race-day registration opens early at the park, well before the gun goes off. Pells Park is your landmark for parking, packet pickup, and the start area, so plan to arrive with time to spare.
