There’s a 10K a 5K,
And a 1 mile run,
Finishing over home plate
Is so much fun!

On the 4th of July,
For the 27th time,
The Firecracker Run will be held,
Volunteers make it shine!

We raised over $11,000 last year,
And are looking for someone to donate the beer.
750 runners are expected,
Come out and give them a cheer.

We need you to run, walk,
Or push the stroller along,
Family fun is the key,
There is even music and song.

Don’t run? Don’t walk?
We’ll still take your money,
Cause we sure aren’t proud,
We need sponsors honey!

We need water, ice,
Fruit and bagels too,
So many opportunities,
We’ll even take that energy goo!

There’s also an expo,
It’s covered in case of rain,
You can expose all those folks,
To your charm and brain.

Fancy tech shirts,
Are new this year,
For only $5,
You can get that cool gear.

So will the committee,
Members please rise,
These folks are gonna stalk you,
With no thought to their pride.
