The All-American celebration in Saratoga Springs has stepped off with the annual Firecracker 4 4-mile race throughout the city for the past 18 years.
Its creation, growth, and continued success began with a meeting among a dedicated group of parents seeking to raise funds for Saratoga Springs High School’s cross-country, track, and field programs.
Charlie Woodruff, Bob Vanderminden, Jr., along with Peter Goutos, were a part of the original group that met and have shepherded the Firecracker 4 4-mile race from its inaugural race with 150 runners to an expected 2,500 runners this year.
The Daily Gazette interviewed Peter Goutos, just days before the event begins on Friday morning in front of the Saratoga Springs City Center, discussing the race’s inception, growth, and its future.
