Carnegie Volunteer Fire and Rescue Bureau 5K Run/Walk
The 19th annual 5K Run/Walk on April 18, 2026 is held to benefit the Carnegie Volunteer Fire and Rescue Bureau (CVFRB). The event is based at CVFRB Station, 201 West Main Street, and supports a service that provides 24/7 fire and emergency response for the Boroughs of Carnegie and Pennsbury Village.
CVFRB is a 100% volunteer organization. Members take part in monthly training, the Firefighter Phil Program, classroom fire safety sessions at Carnegie Elementary, and periodic fire drills at various high-rise apartment buildings. While the Borough covers much of the operating costs, additional funding is raised through events, sponsorships, and private donations; this race is listed among those fundraising efforts.
Entry fees are presented by category: early registration $20; first responder and military $15; children 10 years and younger $10; Carlynton students $10. Sponsorship is organized by levels with suggested amounts: Platinum $1000 and up, Gold $500 to $999, Silver $250 to $499, and Bronze $249 and under. Sponsors and donors for the event include local businesses, community organizations, advertisers, and service groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
