🔥 ADA, YOU SHOWED UP. 🔥And there's still time to register! Lets make this the biggest Fireball Classic ever!

Race morning is TOMORROW, and here's where we stand:
🏃 506+ registered runners (yes, we passed the shirt limit, Ada doesn't miss)

💛 $21,317.69+ raised from runners and individual donors like YOU, including $903 in pure donations from people who just wanted to give

🏆 $24,950+ raised from our incredible race sponsors, Mercy, Ada Veterinary Clinic, Southeast Oklahoma Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, LegalShield, The Clinic, VISION BANK, Core Orthodontics, and so many more

That's over $46,000 headed to our community. 💚
Every dollar supports Back to School Basics, school supplies for Pontotoc County students who need them, AND teacher grants for the educators who show up for our kids every single day. 📚✏️

This race has never been bigger. And it's because of YOU, Ada.

To every runner, walker, donor, volunteer, sponsor, and cheerleader, thank you. See you at Wintersmith Park in the morning. 🇺🇸

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and fast Fourth of July! 🎆

🚨 We are 3 people away from 600 registered runners. 🚨
THREE!

The Fireball Classic is TOMORROW morning at Wintersmith Park and we are sitting at 597 registered participants, which means three people get to be the ones who push us over 600.

Will it be you? Your neighbor? That friend you've been texting "we should do this" to for two weeks? 👀

Every registration supports Back to School Basics, school supplies for Pontotoc County kids and teacher grants for our local educators. 597 people have already said yes to that. We just need 3 more.

Register tonight. Be No. 598, 599, or the one who makes it 600. 🏁

🏊 RACE DAY BONUS: THE POOL WILL BE OPEN! 🏊‍♀️

Here's a special July 4th perk just for Fireball Classic participants and families: the City of Ada is opening Wintersmith Aquatic Center from 7:00–9:00 AM race morning! 💦🇺🇸

Finished your race and need to cool down? Have little ones ready to splash while the runners do their thing? The pool is yours to enjoy, and it doesn't get more Ada than running a 5K and then jumping in a pool on the Fourth of July. 😄

Just one important reminder 👇

🏆 Awards ceremonies follow the conclusion of the 5K and 10K races. If you head to the pool, keep an eye on the time, you do NOT want to miss those moments!

🐾🎈 THE FIREBALL FAMILY FUN RUN IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A RACE 🎈🐾

If you've been on the fence, let us change your mind.

The Fireball Classic Family Fun Run/Walk on July 4th isn't about pace or PRs, it's about showing up together and having an absolutely great morning.

Here's what's waiting at the start line:
🎈 Balloon animals - for the little ones and, let's be honest, for the adults too
🐾 Paw Print Station - take home a one-of-a-kind keepsake from race morning
🏆 Most Paw-some Dog Costume Contest - Ada, we are crowning a CHAMPION and your dog deserves that ribbon 🐕👑

Strollers, wagons, and leashed pups are all welcome on the course. the sidewalks inside Wintersmith Park were made for this crowd. 👶🐕

✅ $25 gets you in AND includes a race day t-shirt
⏰ Fun Run starts at 7:15 AM
📍 Wintersmith Park · Ada, OK

🏥 Proudly sponsored by Ada Veterinary Clinic

Come as you are. Bring the kids. Bring the dog. Leave with a balloon animal, a paw print, and a great story. That's a July 4th worth having. 🇺🇸💛
