"A Huge Success!!"Fairlington Fire House 5K Race Held Saturday, April 14, 2001 |
The "First Annual 5K Run", sponsored by Firehouse 7 of the Arlington County Fire Department, attracted more than 200 runners. The weather was perfect for the race which attracted runners from the Arlington County, Alexandria, Fairfax County and Prince William County Fire Departments, along with a host of local residents.
The race was held in Fairlington under sunny skies and comfortable temperatures and was considered a huge success by sponsors and participants alike. Registration took place in the South Fairlington Community Center and trophies were presented in the parking lot next to the North Fairlington Community Center. Winners were declared for men, women and a variety of age groups. A 1K "Fun Run/Walk" was also held for children.
Our local firefighters are donating the proceeds from the race for the Washington Regional Fire and Rescue Departments' Aluminum Cans for Burned Children Program (ACFC). This program sends children to the Mid-Atlantic Burn Camp that helps young burn survivors.
