Early registration is officially open for the Firebolt 5K and Race of 100 Harrys held in conjunction with Queen City Mischief & Magic ✨

This year, we’re looking at race day through a slightly more whimsical lens. The houses are still competing for house points and the win, but instead of house-colored shirts, runners’ bibs will identify their houses.

Our 2026 shirts and medals will have a special theme for this year’s race, with a little inspiration from one of the wizarding world’s most wonderfully unique characters.

Grab your spot, choose your house, and get ready for another magical morning at the Firebolt 5K! ⚡️

✨ The wait is over... welcome to the Year of Luna! ✨

Many of you spotted the clues hidden throughout our teasers, and a few sharp-eyed witches and wizards guessed correctly... this year's Firebolt 5K medal is inspired by Luna Lovegood's iconic Spectrespecs! 👓

But that's not all... it GLOWS IN THE DARK 🌟

For one magical year, we're celebrating everyone's favorite Ravenclaw with a special Luna-inspired race experience. While we'll still be competing for House points on race day, you'll notice a few fun changes, including a fresh approach to this year's race shirts.

And don't worry, we haven't forgotten about the Race of 100 Harrys medal. That reveal is coming soon too.

⚡ Registration opens July 1st, so be sure to follow our page and keep an eye out for updates, sneak peeks, and all the magical details leading up to race day.
