About the Event

The Firecracker 5K Run/Walk and HEROhustle were great additions to Springfield Township's annual and wildly popular Freedom Celebration! We created the events to honor the memory of long-time Springfield Township resident Pvt. Sterling "Butch" Rahe, who left us too soon in January of 2024 and add fun during post-event festivities.
