2015 SIERRA MADRE 

FOURTH OF JULY 
FIRECRACKER FUN RUN 
REGISTRATION

Sierra Madre, CA. – March 18, 2015 – The 
Spero Foundation will be hosting their fifth 
annual “Fire Cracker Fun Run” as part of the 
Sierra Madre Fourth of July Festivities. This is 
an “unofficial 5K event,” but a running clock 
is provided. We welcome runners and walkers 
of all ages. Walkers with strollers and dogs on 
leashes are encouraged to participate as this is 
a true community event!

 The Firecracker Fun Run is held on Saturday, 
July 4, 2015. Check-in and registration is 
at Kersting Court from 7:00am-7:45am 
the morning of the race. The race begins at 
8:00am.

 Registration is available online at www.
cityofsierramadre.com/onlineregistration and 
begins Monday, May 4, 2015. Prior to June 
15th registration costs for adults are $21.00 
and youth under 10 are $16.00. After June 15th 
the cost is $26.00 per entry regardless of age. If 
you pre-register online before June 15, you will 
be guaranteed a t-shirt. For registrations taken 
June 15 or after, race t-shirts are available until 
supplies run out.

 All participants will receive a custom 2015 
Firecracker Fun Run medal! Also as a new 
twist- this year there will be awards for the 
“Best-Showing” of RED, WHITE & BLUE- so 
show your support for the Stars and Stripes. 
We highly encourage everyone to dress up and 
show their patriotism with the most creative 
outfit possible.

 The Spero Foundation was formed in 2009 
to raise awareness, bringing hope to people 
in need. In the last year the Foundation 
has donated over $28,000 to support local 
community programs and delivered over 50 
food baskets during the holiday season to 
families in our own community. 100% of the 
proceeds from this event will support their 
Holiday Food Basket Program. Hope is not 
our wish…it is our goal.
