Hometown Hero Challenge
Hometown Hero Challenge.
If you are a Fire Officer, Firefighter, EMT or Paramedic, Law Enforcement Officer or Military Member and will be running the 5K in your service gear, please register for the Hometown Hero Challenge. You will be competing for awards in the "regular" 5K age groups with all 5K registrants, Hometown Heroes or regular folks, but we want to be able to recognize you for taking it to the next level, representing your service by running in your gear. Hometown Heroes who register for the Hometown Hero Challenge and run the 5K in their gear will be awarded a special memento at the awards ceremony.
If you are a Firefighter and are would like to represent and run in FULL gear but share the miles with your fellow Firefighters, please register for the Firefighter Relay Team where teams of three in full gear will compete against one another with awards for the fastest three teams. If you register for the Hometown Hero Challenge but later draft two others to join you for the Firefighter Relay Team, no worries, contact the Race Director and we will gladly transfer your registration.
