Please be sure to wear your bib VISIBLY on the FRONT of your body. In addition, try not to stop your watch at the finish line. This is because the chip does not read through the human body. Thus if your hand is on your watch in front of your bib, the time may not read.
Fairport's 4th of July Weekend Celebration kicks off with the Fleet Feet FireCracker 5K at Perinton Park. This has been ongoing since 1976.
This is a flat and fast 5K! Yes, it is a 5K this year. Due to construction on the Main Street Bridge, thus we had to adjust the course, but the win is we have a race happening! The Parade will follow the race starting at 10AM.
