SAN ANGELO, TX – The San Angelo Fire Fighter’s Association (SAFFA) is hosting a 5K and one mile fun run Saturday morning at Kids Kingdom. 

According to the SAFFA's President Fred Barnett, there is no entry fee for the 5K and mile fun run.  The association is asking for donations only, “all the funds raised at the 5K go to support the Texas Line of Duty Task Force.”

The Fallen First Responder 5K is held in conjunction with the Texas Firefighter Summer Games being hosted by the San Angelo Fire Fighters Association July 16 – 21. The Games begin Sunday morning at the San Angelo Stadium with an opening ceremony followed by the power lifting competition.
