Firecracker4 Road Race Concludes

SARATOGA SPRINGS — On July 4, runners took to Broadway for the 16th annual Firecracker 4 Road Race, a four-mile race through the streets of downtown Saratoga. As bands and musicians lined the streets, over 2,000 runners weaved their way through the city. While organizers say the event is part road race, part celebration, Shea Weilbaker (21 M), of Saratoga claimed victory with a blistering pace of 19:11, that’s 4:48 a mile. In the women’s division, Angie Rafter (22 F) of Glastonbury had the time to beat at 22:28, an impressive pace of 5:37 a mile. Congratulations to the winners, participants and organizers for another successful event that is slowly becoming a staple of summertime Saratoga.
