Neil Emanatian Memorial 5K presented by Harding Mazzotti LLP

Join us for the inaugural Saratoga Springs Firefighters Cancer & Disability Foundation 5K Run/Walk, dedicated to honoring the memory of FF Neil Emanatian. A veteran who served with distinction in both the United States Marine Corps and as a career firefighter with the City of Saratoga Springs Fire Department, Neil's service extended into healthcare when he became a nurse at the Albany VA Medical Center, supporting his fellow veterans. Sadly, Neil fell victim to job-related illnesses that took their toll on him.
This event aims to raise funds for active and retired firefighters from Saratoga Springs and their families who face financial hardships due to cancer or disabilities sustained during service. Participants will experience a scenic 5K course through the charming streets of Saratoga Springs, offering runners an opportunity to show support while enjoying the vibrant community atmosphere.
Entry fees are open to individuals aged 12 years and older:
- Adults (ages 16+): Pre-registration costs $35; race day registration is $40.
- Kids (ages 12-15): The entry fee is discounted at $25, automatically applied during checkout for those who qualify.
If you wish to contribute but cannot participate in the run/walk, visit our fundraising page to make a donation directly. Your support will help ensure that firefighters and their families receive much-needed assistance when facing medical challenges or disabilities related to their service.
Join us on this meaningful day as we come together to honor Neil Emanatian's legacy and support those who have dedicated themselves to protecting our community.
