Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company puts out the call for Volunteers

Calling all runners to Leesburg, VA on October 25th, 2015 to run in the First Annual LVFC Zombie XC 5K. Volunteer your services and help support your local volunteer firefighters.

Kids love zombies and fire trucks, you love to run. Enjoy a crisp fall day in Leesburg with your family and the local community.

The LVFC dates back to 1803 and is the first fire company in Loudoun County and only the seventh in the Commonwealth of Virginia. While Thomas Jefferson was making the Louisiana Purchase the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company was protecting the citizens of Leesburg.

Come and be part of this rich history on October 25th at Philip A. Bolen Memorial Park in Leesburg, VA at 9AM, and support the folks who protect your community..

Several activities including a costume contest, kid’s fun run, touch a truck and more will be available throughout the morning. Bring the family and show your support for the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company.

After the race gather at the fire station to enjoy refreshments and treats for the children. A parked truck will be available for the kids to climb on, hats and goodie bags will be available.

Come burn up the course and show em what you can do. A crew will be stationed at the finish line to hose down any smoking shoes!*

Wear your favorite zombie costume and run through the park for this cross-country Zombie 5K race.

Registration is $30 for the 5K and $15 for the 1K Kids Fun Run until October 23rd. After October 23rd, fees are $35 for the 5K race and $20 for the Kids 1K Fun Run. Proceeds from the race support the LVFC and the DC Burn Unit.

“My First 5K” medals are available during on-line registration. If this is your first 5K or your child’s First 5K a commemorative medal is a wonderful way to remember a great first race. Proceeds from your purchase support the LVFC and the DC Burn Unit.

Support your kids, the Fire Department and have a great race!

• They won’t really be hosing down anyone.

Run well my friends,

Andy
