This exciting and heartwarming event is more than just a race; it’s a community celebration that honors our brave First Responders while promoting their well-being. Participants can choose to take on the Challenge, where 50 First Responders will compete against 50 civilians in a timed 5km run, each donning a symbolic 50lb weighted vest to reflect the burdens they carry daily.
