Firecracker 4-Miler Road Race & Fun Run – Cranford July 4th Running Race
Cranford’s July 4th tradition is back! This holiday road race and fun run returns for its 47th year beginning at Nomahegan Park.
Whether you run the classic 4-miler or participate in the family friendly 1-mile fun run, you’ll enjoy a scenic course with a community feel. All participants get a race shirt and a chip timer. 4-milers also receive our commemorative pint glass. Proceeds support the Cranford Jaycees’ scholarship programs.
Races include the traditional 4-miler course (8:30 am), the 1-mile family fun run (8:00 am), and a Virtual Run option.
After the race, enjoy refreshments, music, popcorn, ice pops, and face painting while listening to our DJ and watching the prize ceremony.
Be part of one of Union County’s great Independence Day traditions, and start your 4th off with a bang!
