Get ready for the best Manistee Firecracker 5K ever this summer! This year's race, held during the annual Manistee Forest Festival, takes place Saturday, July 7th, beginning with the 1K fun run at 8:00 am and the 5K run/walk following at 8:15. Starting at Manistee High School, run through quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods to Manistee's newly remodeled 1st St. Beach waterfront on newly paved streets. You'll be sure to run your fastest time of the year!

Also 3 age-group medals for each of 15 different age categories in the run/walk will be awarded, while every finisher in the fun run gets a medal!
The annual race is organized by the Manistee Track & Field and Cross-Country teams, with all proceeds supporting their programs.
