About the Ronald McDonald House Firecracker 5K
The course runs through historic downtown Pensacola, starting and finishing at Seville Quarter. It is a patriotic-themed race, so expect a crowd showing up in red, white, and blue. After the main race, there is a kids' fun run, and the post-race party moves inside Seville Quarter, where McDonald's sets up food and drinks.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at Lili Marlene's inside Seville Quarter, with an earlier window that afternoon at the Ronald McDonald House across town. Race-morning pickup is also available at Seville Quarter before the start.
