About
The event is a virtual 5K walk/run and 10K run.
All proceeds go directly to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation to support their mission.
The Wildland Firefighter Foundation's main focus is to help families of firefighters killed in the line of duty and to assist injured firefighters and their families. They honor and acknowledge past, present, and future members of the wildland firefighting community, and partner with private and interagency organizations to bring recognition to wildland firefighters.
