The Beulah Firecracker 5K takes place at 7122 Prospect Ave in Beulah, Michigan on July 4th, 2027. Despite its name, the race offers a 1-mile distance rather than a traditional 5K. The event starts at 8:00 AM and entry fees range from $25 to $35. This early Independence Day morning race provides an accessible option for runners looking to kick off their holiday with a short, competitive effort. Beulah's location in northern Michigan makes it a reasonable destination for regional athletes.
