Firecracker 50 designated US marathon national

USA Cycling has designated the Firecracker 50 on July 4 as the US National Marathon Championships for 2007 and 2008. Entering its seventh year, the Firecracker 50 will also host several other non-National Championship mountain bike races for junior, beginner, sport, and expert divisions for individuals and teams.

Competitors will ride two laps of a 25-mile loop and the event's neutral start will once again be incorporated into the town's Fourth of July parade on Main Street before venturing off road.
