Firecracker 5K / 10K Run...

• 10K Run:- Run 6.2 Miles
• 5K Run:- Run 3.1 Miles

The 5th Annual Firecracker 5K/10K takes you on a scenic tour of Historic Downtown Dahlonega. The Start/Finish line is on the downtown square in front of the Dahlonega Gold Museum, which is housed in the oldest Courthouse in the State of Georgia. Winding your way through the streets of Dahlonega, the location of the country's first gold rush, you will pass scenic Hancock Park and many historic buildings. Winding roads and gently sloping hills guide you through quiet residential streets under the filtered sunlight of Pecan, Oak and Dogwood trees which makes for an enjoyable and peaceful run. 

If you are continuing on to the 10K, the terrain becomes a little more challenging with steeper hills but no less scenic.  You complete your run arriving back at the downtown square to music and cheers of encouragement as you speed through the finish, which happens to be directly across from a fudge shop. 

Refreshments, high fives and awards ceremony wrap up the morning just in time to enjoy the rest of our 4th of July full day of celebration and events. Find more information about our awesome celebration at www.dahlonega4thofjuly.com.
