Wildland Firefighter Remembrance Run...

• 10K Run:- Run 6.2 Miles
• 5K Run / Walk:- Run 3.1 Miles

This 5K walk/run and 10K run is hosted by numerous volunteers and is supported by the Lava Beds National Monument and The Modoc National Forest to raise money for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation in memory of Shawn Price, Thomas Marovich Jr., Luke Sheehy, David Ruhl, and all other firefighters who have lost their lives or who have been seriously injured in the line of duty. The walk/run is also followed by a hosted BBQ lunch and raffle. All proceeds go directly to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation to support their mission.

The Wildland Firefighter Foundation's main focus is to help families of firefighters killed in the line of duty and to assist injured firefighters and their families. They honor and acknowledge past, present, and future members of the wildland firefighting community, and partner with private and interagency organizations to bring recognition to wildland firefighters.
