Old Jo's Firecracker 5K

This will be our 16th year to host this family-fun-filled race!

A 5K in the cool morning of July 4th is a great way to start your celebration of our great country.  This chip timed, certified course, takes runners and walkers out of the historic Saint Jo Square through the countryside north of town and then back for the finish.  We have a variety of age brackets for male and female runners.

We love seeing return racers and welcome new runners/walkers to our little town. 

On-site registration and check-in starts at 6:30 am at the Gazebo, on the square.  

If you are looking for fun things to do on this holiday, there are many activities held throughout the day at Boggess Park, and stick around for the best fireworks show in North Texas, at sundown.
