From the Organizer
The Belchertown Police Officers’ Association and the Belchertown Firefighters’ Association are proud to announce our very first “Belchertown First Responders” 5K Run & 1-Mile Walk!
In partnership with Arcpoint Brewing Co., this exciting community event brings people together to support a great cause. As a 501(c)(3) organization, all proceeds raised will be split between both associations to help us continue our shared mission of giving back to the Belchertown community.
Whether you’re a runner, a walker, or just looking to show your support, we’d love to have you join us. Come out for a great day of fitness, community spirit, and local pride!
Stick around after the race! The D.B. Cooper Band will be playing rock hits from the ’70s and ’80s, starting at 1:00 pm, featuring one of our very own police officers and a firefighter.
