From the Organizer
The Hillsboro Fire Department proudly serves the Town of Hillsboro, New Hampshire, providing fire protection and emergency medical services to a close-knit community of approximately 6,000 residents across 42 square miles. Each year, the department responds to more than 1,000 calls, delivering critical support when it matters most.
Beyond emergency response, the department is deeply committed to prevention and education. Their work includes fire safety inspections for homes and businesses, site plan reviews, and ongoing fire and environmental safety education to help keep the community safe year-round.
This 5K features an off-road course that offers a fun and adventurous experience for participants. Please note that due to the terrain, strollers are not recommended.
