On behalf of St. John's Lutheran Church, thank you to everyone who joined us for another incredible Firecracker 5K! We loved kicking off the week of the Fourth of July with so many runners, walkers, volunteers, families, and community members.
Your participation does so much more than make for a fun morning—it helps support the Children, Youth, and Family Ministries at St. John's. Because of you, we're able to provide mission trips, camps, service opportunities, scholarships, and meaningful faith experiences for youth in our community.
A huge thank you to Craig Mullenbach of Mullenbach Photo LLC for once again capturing so many wonderful moments from race day. We truly appreciate your talent and generosity!
We'd also like to extend our sincere thanks to the Annandale Area Chamber of Commerce for another fantastic upcoming Fourth of July celebration and to Running Tangents for partnering with us to present this event. We're also incredibly grateful to our amazing sponsors, whose generosity helped make this year's Firecracker 5K & 1 Mile Sparkler Run possible:
