About

Valley Chemical Fire Company Stop, Drop & Run 5k is held in Catawissa, Pennsylvania, on October 31, 2026, and is run by the Valley Chemical Fire Company. One distance is offered, a 5k run and walk covering 3.1 miles, starting at 9:00 a.m.

Volunteer fire department races are community events first, which usually means a friendly field and a distance anyone can attempt. Walkers can finish it without any particular preparation, while runners looking for a time should build with one weekly interval session and one longer run over the preceding month. The 9 a.m. start is late enough for breakfast and early enough that the race does not swallow the day: leave two hours between eating and running, and jog for ten minutes beforehand to settle your breathing.
