Firehouse 5K

Experience the vibrant spirit of the 2026 Brownston Blockparty Weekend with the Firehouse 5K, returning for its third year as an integral part of this beloved local celebration. This 5-kilometer course takes you through the heart of Washburn, starting and ending in front of the historic Firehouse Bar.
The route has been carefully crafted to offer a mix of urban charm and scenic beauty, weaving past quaint shops, charming homes, and verdant parks. Whether you're a seasoned runner or simply looking for an engaging way to stay active, this event caters to all paces and preferences—run, walk, jog, or even skip your way through the course.
As you complete each mile, you'll find yourself surrounded by enthusiastic spectators cheering on fellow participants. The atmosphere is lively and inclusive, making it a perfect opportunity for both locals and visitors alike to enjoy some friendly competition and camaraderie.
Halfway along the route lies an "aide" station where you can grab a refreshing beverage or simply catch your breath before pressing onward. Upon crossing the finish line, celebrate with a well-deserved drink at the Firehouse Bar, where you’ll also have the chance to thank those who support Washburn Emergency Services through their generous registration fees.
Join us for an event that promises not only physical fitness but also community spirit and fun!
