About This Event
The 5th Annual Fit 4 Duty 5k is a run/walk encouraging our public safety personnel (as well as civilians) to remain fit as well as to enhance their fitness for duty. These efforts are in honor of Lt. Rick Duncanson, a 26 year veteran of the Windham Fire and Rescue Departments who died unexpectedly in December 2012

This event is hosted by RDMS, Inc. (501c3) and All net proceeds are to benefit The Rick Duncanson Memorial Scholarship. ( www.rickduncansonmemorialscholarship.org).

The race will be held on Sunday, September 24th at 9 am. Beginning and ending at the Windham High School, the course forms a complete circle on local roads, and is sure to be a fun experience for runners and walkers.
