OUR EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR 2020
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is a rapidly changing situation. Reviewing the recommendations of the CDC and the emergency implementations and restrictions governing all public gatherings by the Governor, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel The Run for Responders 5K for the Lieutenant 22-40 First Responder Foundation that was scheduled for April 25th, 2020.
This announcement is not an easy one to make, but Bobby was always helping others and we feel this would have been a decision he would have made to protect people. For the safety of everyone involved, the participants, volunteers, spectators and our community, and, for the safety of those for whom this charity serves - our First Responders and Volunteer Fire Companies, we feel it is necessary to take this action.
If you have registered for the race we will send you a refund or if you would like to use that as a donation to our foundation that would be greatly appreciated.

Our Story – Lt. 22-40 Foundation
For over 27 years, Bobby Gensimore was a dedicated Volunteer Fireman and a First Responder for the Warriors Mark–Franklin Volunteer Fire Company with the call name of LT 22-40. The LT 22-40 First Responders Foundation was established to honor Bobby. On February 17, 2018, Bobby was setting up flares to warn motorists of an accident when he was struck by a vehicle and taken from us. Helping others was Bobby’s passion. Bobby will be forever missed and the community will never forget the love and support he had for his fellow firemen and first responders.
Volunteer Fire Companies require training to stay current with the latest technology. Unfortunately, smaller companies are no longer operating due to lack of funding. The proceeds from this Foundation will go towards grants to support education, training and lifesaving equipment to better serve their communities.
Individual runners welcome as well as Duty Gear Team Challengers:
Fire, Rescue and Law Enforcement Departments are encouraged to participate in the Duty Gear Team Challenge (3-person minimum, in turnout/duty gear, present race day) and compete for Cash Prizes ($100 for EACH division - Fire, Rescue & Law Enforcement departments based on best overall team time) along with medals (1st, 2nd, 3rd place) for individual first responders in each division. A Student plaque will be awarded to the school team with best overall time, and a Community Team plaque awarded to largest participating team (business or any group).
