Columbus Firefighters Charity 5K
The Columbus Firefighters Charity 5K is a multi-category running event held in Columbus, Georgia. The event centers around CSU Woodruff Park at 1000 Bay Avenue and provides an opportunity to support local charities through athletic participation.
Participants can choose from three distinct event categories, all covering a 5 km distance:

- Law Enforcement/Military 25lb Vest or Ruck Run
Awards are presented to the top overall finisher and to top performers in various age groups, ranging from 14 and under to 50 and over. There is also a specific award category for the top firefighter competing in full gear. Detailed course maps are provided for the route through the local area.
