Organiser's description
On October 4th we will be hosting our fourth annual First Responders 5K!! This annual 3-mile run was started in Fall of 2022 to honor the first responders that risk their lives every day to help others. Every year, thousands of U.S. first responders-including firefighters, law enforcement officers, and EMS providers, lose their lives while protecting others. Firefighters face the highest risk from medical emergencies, such as heart attacks. We do this run to bring attention to their sacrifice.
There will be t-shirts, water bottles, a static display provided!
We also will be collecting money to donate to Tunnels2Towers, an organization that pays off the home mortgages of families of fallen first responders.
We look forward to seeing you there!
