The family fitness event of the summer is here with MWR's Firecracker 5k and 1k! Wear whatever red, white and blue clothing you have in your closet and get ready for our patriotic USA costume contest before the run. The 5k will circle NAS II beginning and ending at NAS II Fitness Center. If you have a little one that would like to participate, sign them up for the 1k kids run and they can join in on the fun! Sports activities and childcare (provided by CYP) will be available from 6-7:40 p.m. for ages 4+ if parents would like to complete the 5k. The 1k kids run will follow and all ages are welcome to join. The first 300 participants to register will receive a free t-shirt!
