**CANCELED** 17th Annual Firecracker Run

It is with a heavy heart we announce that the 2020 Firecracker Run is canceled. Due to the current Social Distancing Guidelines and concerns associated with the COVID-19 virus, the Board of Directors has voted to cancel this event for 2020. 
 
Please know, this decision was not made unmindfully. The event committee and board of directors have met several times to discuss various alternatives and evaluate possible decisions about having the event or canceling the event. The safety of our participants must be our top priority and any chance of jeopardizing that safety, even minutely, by continuing the event this year simply isn?t worth it to us. Rest assured, we have every intention of continuing this event, with hopes of making it even bigger, in 2021. 

Again, we are truly saddened by the need to cancel this year's Firecracker Run, however, we hope that you will support our efforts to ensure everyone's safety and plan to see us again at the 2021 Firecracker Run!
