About the Baddow Pass Firefighter 5K-10K-9.11 mile
This race is organized by the Richland Township Volunteer Fire Department, and the tribute angle is real, not decorative. The longest distance is designed specifically to honor those lost in the attacks that defined a generation. There is also a gear challenge for firefighters who want to run in full turnout gear and breathing apparatus, which makes for an unusual sight on course.
The event is a fundraiser for the fire department, with proceeds going toward emergency equipment for the department's own use in Glenmont. That context gives the morning a purposeful feel, with firefighters and civilians running side by side across several distance options.
