Rockford Fire 911 Run

Rockford Fire 911 3K Run

The Rockford Fire Department organizes the 22nd Annual Rockford Fire Department 911 - 3K Run/Walk in Rockford, Illinois. The event’s stated purpose is to support fire prevention and emergency medical education in the community. Proceeds are used to purchase training aids and educational handouts and to sponsor a camper to attend "Camp I Am Me," a burn survivor camp run by the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance. The event also honors the memory of September 11, 2001.

Event features include chip timing, a USATF certified course, participant T-shirts, custom finisher medals, and race bibs. Post-race food is provided by Mission BBQ. Prizes include challenge coins for top age-category finishers, awards for overall male and female runners, and medals for the kids fun run.
