"Sound the Siren" 5K Run/Walk

South Orange Rescue Squad’s “Sound The Siren” 5k Run/Walk and EMS Open House.

We are very excited to be holding this community event for the 3rd year. This one is shaping up to be even bigger and better than last year, with free food from Waffle de Lys, Dunkin, and other vendors, plus free face painting and activities for kids.

Run the 5K (or an optional 1.3 mile walking route), and then join us at the end where kids and adults alike can tour the ambulances and our headquarters and learn about Emergency Medical Services in South Orange and Maplewood.

9 AM:     5K Run / Walk
10 AM:   Kids Fun Run (free!)
               EMS Community Open House (free!)

All proceeds go to providing free Emergency Medical Services to the residents of South Orange, Maplewood and the surrounding communities.

The South Orange Rescue Squad is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization staffed by volunteers and funded solely by contributions from the community. None of our members are compensated for their work, we receive no taxpayer funding, and never charge a fee for our services. Contributions are 100% tax deductible under IRS regulations.
