Organiser's description

Get ready for the 2023 Light Your Fire 5K Run/Walk! Join us for our final Light Your Fire on a picturesque run/walk through beautiful Spencer and Belvidere Parks on Sunday, September 17, 2023. We will begin with a siren start at 9:00 a.m. Don't want to run alone? Invite a friend or two! The September 17 date doesn't work for you? You can still support us by signing up for our virtual event and be "virtually flammable" or simply making a donation. This year we are offering an age group of 6 to 17 years of age to register for the race for $20 without a shirt. (Since we do not offer child size shirts, your child can still participate at a lower cost. There will be an option to purchase a shirt for these runners in adult sizes only at the checkout.) Remember children five and younger are free and do not receive a shirt. We cannot wait to welcome you back to our Final Light Your Fire 5K Run/Walk! Thank you for your support.
