SARATOGA SPRINGS — FC4 Events will be hosting two annual road races this month: The Firecracker4 Road Race and Silks & Satins 5K.
The Firecracker4 Road Race is held each Independence Day in downtown Saratoga Springs. In its 17th year supporting more than 2,500 runners, it is the longest and largest Independence Day race in the Northeast, with a growing Kid’s .02 mile run immediately before, starting at 8:15 a.m.
The four-mile course starts on Broadway in front of the Saratoga Springs City Center. Runners will start down Broadway and turn into the city. This race draws people from all over the country (and world!), so be sure to register: areep.com/events/fc4/.
Silks & Satins 5K will take place Saturday, July 15 from 8-10 a.m. in Saratoga Springs. Held on the first Saturday of track season, the Silks and Satins 5K is a celebration of the Saratoga Springs community and the opening of the track.
