Riverfest in La Crosse already includes patriotic activities for the 4th of July…but this year, a couple more holiday-themed events are being added. The morning of the 4th, a Saturday, will feature the Firecracker 4 Mile Run-Walk and the Liberty Dash mile-long race. Emily Sturmoski from the city park and rec department says the Liberty event will be for two different levels of runner, competitive and just plain fun level.

Both races replace the 5-K and 10-K Chileda Classic runs, which were held for more than 30 years in connection with Riverfest.
