Be A Hero for Our First Responders
Law Enforcement and Firefighters are our heroes every day. Now it's your turn to be theirs. The Homewood First Responders 5K will raise funds for both the Homewood Police Foundation and the Homewood Fire Department. The race will begin and end in front of the Trak Shak on 18th Street, and wind its way through the streets of Downtown Homewood and the surrounding neighborhoods. Officers and firefighters will be there with police vehicles and fire trucks, and McGruff the Crime Dog! So bring the kids for a morning of heroic fun.
