We hope to see everyone walk, run—or scramble! —in 2026 for Buttonwood Nature Center!

You can still register as a Scrambler to support Buttonwood. Walk, Run or Scramble in any location—be sure to send us a picture in your Scramble t-shirt.

(Shirt provided with registration.) “Virtual Scramblers” continue to registration at bottom of page.

As part of Team Salamander, you’ll enjoy the following perks on race day: A team shirt, a cool towel to help you cool off after the finish line, refreshments in our VIP Scramble Tent, and prizes! 

Buttonwood will cover your Firecracker 5K race fees, a VIP code will be provided upon completion of registration AND with your registration you receive a one-year membership to Buttonwood Nature Center.

You’ll receive information by email and get discounts on certain community programs.

There is a grand prize each year to the Scrambler that donates the highest amount to Buttonwood—whether it’s through a large family participating or through raised pledges.

Don’t want to “scramble” but want to help? We need volunteers for flagging—training provided!
