Celebrate the holiday weekend at this special 250th running of the Firecracker Classic, a speedy and mostly flat 5K through charming Cotuit village that finishes at historic Lowell Field, home to the Cotuit Kettleers baseball team. Your entry gets you two complimentary beers and food at the after-party, plus age-category winners receive small cherry pies while the overall fastest male and female runners take home large ones from Centerville Pie. Every child who crosses the finish line earns a free ice cream cone from Polar Cave, and proceeds benefit the Barnstable Land Trust, Cotuit Athletic Association, Cape Cod Challenger Club, and Boy Scouts Troop 52.
