We all know that America’s birthday is a day full of fun, and it is no exception in Jacksonville. To make this celebratory holiday even better, this year’s 4th of July celebrations are going to be BIG. There is plenty going down for anyone ready to clown. Break out the red, white, and blue, and hit the streets of #JAX

The BEST WAY to start a holiday is a run. Who’s with me?! I know you are all shaking your heads in disappointment at that statement, but imagine how good you’ll feel afterwards. Top finishers win some prize money.
