About the Fire House 5k
This is a benefit race for a volunteer fire department, so the crowd skews toward neighbors and local families rather than competitive runners. Pets are welcome on leash, which gives the start area a casual feel. The course details were not published, but the race is held in Wausau and the fire department connection puts it close to the station.
After you finish, there is a drink of your choice waiting, and a kids race follows later in the morning. Same-day registration is available on site, opening well before the start.
