What about the Firefighter's Fitness Challenge?

That's a tradition!

Every spring, we are honored to work with the Navarre Beach Fire Rescue for autism awareness and acceptance! This year will be the 8th annual Firefighter's Fitness Challenge, a tough fitness challenge based on activities our firefighters train for!

Do you have what it takes to compete like a Navarre Beach Firefighter? Anyone over the age of 16 can compete! There will be prizes for top male and female in all heats, as well as an overall winner in each category as well. The team with the lowest average time will win the challenge, and have the trophy to prove it! There is also a participation contest combining both the 5k and the Fireman's Fitness Challenge, so get your teams together!

The cost to sign up is $20 per person. You can bundle your 5k and your Firefighter Challenge and save, all while still supporting a great cause!
