The Bozeman Firefighters will present their third annual charity run, the Bozeman Firehouse 5k, on Saturday, August 17th beginning at 9:11am. The race course wraps around the scenic Gallatin County Regional Park on Bozeman’s west side. The race will start and finish in front of Bozeman Fire Station #3, 1705 Vaquero Pkwy. All racers will receive a custom t-shirt, gift bag and timing chip. Schnee’s will award prizes to the overall top three men and women finishers. To top it all off, every racer will be entered in a raffle with a chance to win other great prizes! Schnee’s will host the packet pick-up on Friday, the night before the race, from 5–8pm. Please visit www.bozemanfirehouse5k.com to register and for further information.
Immediately following the race, the annual “Fire in the Park” open house event will take place at Bozeman Fire Station #3. Free food, tours of the station and apparatus, and fun activities for kids are some of the things that’ll entertain. Racers and their families are encouraged to stick around for this fun event, as well.
All proceeds from the Bozeman Firehouse 5K will support the Benevolent Fund. Bozeman Firefighters Local 613 is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and the Benevolent Fund is how its charitable giving is directed – to members of the community in need, as well as emergency service workers around the area.
