2027 East Lake Firefighters 5K
About This Event
The East Lake Firefighters Benevolent Association is proud to welcome back their Annual East Lake Firefighters 5K on February 27, 2026. This chip-timed race includes a participant T-shirt and finisher medal for all runners! After the race there will be a complimentary post-race pancake breakfast at East Lake Fire Rescue Station 57 located at 3375 Lake Tarpon Blvd, Palm Harbor, FL, 34685.
Since our founding in 2022, the Benevolent Association has donated tens of thousands of dollars to support first responders and their families facing serious medical challenges due to cancer or serious job related injuries. Beyond that, we’ve connected with thousands of local children through community outreach, supported the East Lake Rotary Club, assisted with hurricane cleanup efforts, and helped families in need experience a meaningful Christmas.
This year’s 5K will benefit the East Lake Firefighters Benevolent Association directly to help continue our efforts around the community.
