The men and women of our local Volunteer Fire and Rescue, not only serve and protect our local community through their fire and rescue services. But they also give their time, energy and expertise to support the local community by serving at a variety of events. The New River Marathon is grateful for their support with parking management, traffic control and emergency response. The New River Marathon is supported by (3) Fire Departments and donations will be split among the Fire Departments that support the New River Marathon.
