Start your morning the Alma way — with a little fresh mountain air, some movement, and a big stack of pancakes.
Join us for the Firefighter 5K, a laid-back community run where everyone is welcome. Bring your kids, your dog, your friends — run, jog, walk, or just saunter your way through beautiful Alma. This event is all about getting outside, having fun, and kicking off the day together.
After the run, head over to the NW Fire Protection District Fire Station for a delicious pancake breakfast hosted by IAFF Union Local 5227.
Even better, proceeds from the race entry fees will support the Firefighter Union’s selected charity, so every step you take helps support a great cause.
Come for the run.
Stay for the pancakes. Then head over Town Park for a day of Music and Art at the Festival in the Clouds.
Celebrate community in the highest incorporated town in North America.
