Firehouse 5K

Start your 2025 Homecoming Weekend off right and join us for the 2nd Annual Firehouse 5K!

In days of old, the Firehouse Bar hosted the Chief's Run - a killer 10K loop that remains a sweet memory for many Washburn locals and visitors. Now, after decades have passed, we've brought back the fun run, with a slight change to the route. Lace up your running shoes - we've mapped out an awesome 5k-ish course that starts and ends in front of the Firehouse. Run, walk, jog, skip, mosey...whatever suits your fancy, before celebrating with a well-deserved beverage at the finish line (and at the half-way "aide" station, too, if you'd like).

Whether you're a seasoned runner, you're just looking for a fun way to stay active, or you're hungover from the Firehall Dance and being dragged into it by a well-meaning friend, this event is fun for all!

To top it all off! A portion of every registration fee will go to support heroes of our community: the Washburn Emergency Services! Please consider adding your own direct donation when you check out.
