Altru Family YMCA Firecracker 5K Fun Run/Walk, 10K Run and Free Kiddie Run will be held on Saturday, July 4, on the beautiful Greenway in Downtown Grand Forks, right across the street from Town Square. The 5K/10K starts at 8:00 am sharp and the Kiddie Run starts at approximately 8:05 am. This is the perfect way to kick off your July 4th holiday. Come out to participate or encourage family and friends. Top Finishers will receive prizes and medals while all the “Kiddies” get a goodie bag just for participating. Water, Gatorade, bananas and snacks will be available to all. Join us!

 

FREE KIDDIE RACE

A fun run designed for our youngest participants! Younger children will enjoy a short run in the grass, while older kids will take on a 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile run along a portion of the official race route. A great way for kids to experience the excitement of race day! All kids receive a kiddie bag. No registration necessary.
