Rotarians United for Fresh Food (Hampton Rotary Firecracker 5k Run / 1k Walk)

Lace up your running shoes and ignite your Fourth of July spirit at the Rotarians United for Fresh Food (Hampton Rotary Firecracker 5k Run / 1k Walk) on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in Allison Park, PA. Kicking off from Hampton Community Park at the ALCOA Pavilion, this long-standing community tradition offers both a challenging 5K run and a family-friendly 1K walk. Runners will tackle a dynamic course that includes a notorious middle school hill, while walkers can enjoy a shorter, gentler route that bypasses this elevation, ensuring a fun experience for all ages and fitness levels.

This beloved event is more than just a race; it's a festive gathering that has become a Hampton tradition, fostering community spirit while raising vital funds for educational and charitable initiatives supported by the Hampton Rotary Club. Participants in both the 5K and 1K will receive a stylish tech-style race shirt, and 5K finishers will compete for medals awarded to the top overall male and female runners, as well as the top three in numerous age categories. Typical race day conditions in early July include highs around 83°F and lows around 63°F, with a 20% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but potentially refreshing start to your holiday festivities. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a festive walk, join the vibrant atmosphere and contribute to a great cause.
