From the Organizer
The area's largest 5k! The Beaverton Firecracker 5k is an annual timed race run/walk event that has a combination of road and trail. Every participant receives a T-shirt and a finishers medal. You must register before the deadline in order to guarantee a shirt. The race also gives awards for the top 3 races in each age division and top overall male/female.
In 2019, we introduced a 1 mile fun run! This event will be open for all ages and participants will receive a finishers medal!
