About this race
Welcome to the Red Oak Fire Department 5K!
Hosted by the Red Oak Community Rural Fire Department, this 5K is a fun opportunity to come together with our community, fellow first responders, friends, and family while supporting a great cause.
We are a dedicated team of volunteer firefighters committed to serving the people of Greenville, NC, and the surrounding community. All proceeds from the event will go directly toward important needs such as training, equipment, protective gear, and fire truck maintenance, helping our department continue to be prepared to serve when our community needs us most.
Come run, walk, and enjoy a great day with us! In addition to the 5K, there will be music, bounce houses, and more, making this an event the whole family can enjoy.
We’re looking forward to racing with you and celebrating our community and the men and women who serve it!
Lace up, bring the family, and come support your local volunteer firefighters!
