About
The Rockapulco Firecracker Half Marathon offers a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) and a 5K (3.1 miles) in New York, both starting at 6:30 a.m. on July 4, 2027, for a day of seaside running at Rockaway Beach.
The flat, scenic course follows the boardwalk, with sweeping ocean views, and starts and finishes on the boardwalk itself. Race-day registration is available, and public parking is convenient. Runners receive a T-shirt, a medal and snacks, and several water stops are placed along the course to keep everyone hydrated. It's a celebration of endurance, community and the beauty of Rockaway Beach.
