Battle of the Badges 5K
The event is a regional, team-based 5K (listed as 3.1 miles) that brings together Police, Fire, and EMS departments to compete as teams. Departments field teams of four to six members, with the top four finishers from each team counting toward the team score. The department with the lowest combined time wins the team title.
Awards are given to departments and individuals. Listed awards include an Overall Champion Department, Fastest Team, Most Spirited Team, Community Choice Award, and Fastest Individual for male and female finishers. Community medals are available for public participants.
The event is open to community members who may run or walk and who may support or represent local departments. Registration is limited for both department teams and community participants and will be accepted on a first-come, first-confirmed basis. A registration fee of $40.00 is noted.
The location is in Hermitage in Mercer County, PA, with the specific venue to be announced. Organizers state a fundraising goal of $30,000 during May 2026 to support The Badge & Flame Project.
