5K Race 9:00 | Fun Run 9:00
For the 14th year running, The Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company is proud to host the first race in the Bucks 5K series. This year’s race is Saturday, March 27, 2021. Our race starts and finishes at our fire house and winds through scenic Plumsteadville. There is a challenging elevation change on the bottom leg of the course that will help to wring out those winter doldrums. Following the race, we offer refreshments by local vendors including Round Guys Brewing while the awards are handed out.
Online registration for the 2021 Blaze of Glory 5K will open soon!

(Get Directions)
The Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company is an entirely volunteer fire department providing professional services to portions of Plumstead and Bedminster Townships as well as supporting all surrounding fire departments as mutual aid. The volunteer members run on average 325 emergency calls per year that range from house fires, auto accidents/extrications, domestic rescues, brush fires, carbon monoxide and fire alarms and much more.
All proceeds from the Blaze of Glory 5K go directly to the fire company. The budget of the Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company is 52% funded by Plumstead and Bedminster Townships. The remaining 48% is raised by our members through fundraising events and donations. Money raised goes towards much needed safety equipment. For example, to outfit a single firefighter with basic safety gear will cost over $3,500.00. This cost does not include the cost of an air pack which is an additional expense of $6,500.00. To replace a fire truck can cost between $350,000 and $500,000.
The official course records are for USATF certification #PA14001LMB, and do not apply to any previous course variations prior to this certification.
