🏁 Course Information

WE WILL CONTINUE USING THE 2023 REVISED COURSE. The course is slightly longer (3.3 miles) than the standard distance (3.1 miles) but is more manageable for more runners and walkers. Visit our Facebook page for a video of the course: Click Here

🚒 Fireman's Challenge

The Fireman's Challenge will follow the same course as the 5k, but participants must wear or carry (but not with the aid of a bag) turnout gear for the entire race. Turnout gear includes boots, hat, pants, and coat. Insulation is not required.

• Prize: The first person to cross the finish line will win $250.00 for the Fire Company or EMS of their choice.
• Weather Dependent: Based on previous year's weather, this challenge will be dependent on weather conditions.
• Decision Authority: This decision will be at the discretion of the Race Director.

🏅 Awards Ceremony

Because this race is about bringing the community together and supporting those who support us in a time of need, we will be waiting until all racers have crossed the finish line to give out medals. This should take place between 10-10:30 AM.

• Medal Distribution: It would be greatly appreciated that if you win your division, you stick around to get your medal and a picture.
• Community Spirit: Please show your support to those who ran, walked, or crawled the same distance as you.
