CELEBRATE 24 YEARS OF RUNNING WITH US!!

The Beaver Volunteer Fire Department 5K/10K Race is the longest continual and most attended organized race in Beaver County.

One visit to the Borough of Beaver and you’ll see why! Our scenic town boasts broad, tree-lined streets, thriving downtown, and lots of public parks. Beaver is on the National Register of Historic Places and it is named as a “Tree City USA”.

A long stretch of the race course overlooks the majestic Ohio River. Beaver Volunteer Fire Department has been proud to co-sponsor with Heritage Valley Health Systems for the past 20 plus years.

New to last year was the Team Event. If you want to participate in this, the sign up is under the 5K Race option. At the bottom is a box that says would you like to join or create a group/team. By checking yes then it will give you the options to participate in the team event.
