About this Event
The Holden Association of Firefighters (HAFF) was established in 2002 as a nonprofit organization promoting the betterment of our community. Through our fundraising efforts, we have been able to help local families and individuals in their time of need. By providing scholarships to students; food to those families that need it, support to victims of fires and medical emergencies; and the purchase of equipment for the safety and well being of members of the Holden Fire Department; HAFF is dedicated to giving back to the community that supports us.
On May 11, 2019, HAFF is hosting our fifth annual Firehouse5k road race beginning at the old Holden Fire Station, 1384 Main Street in Holden. The race will run south on Main Street, turn left on Lovell Road, left on Greenwood Parkway, right on Forest Drive, right on Nola Drive, left on Jamieson Road, right on Walnut Terrace, left on Walnut Street, right on Maple Street then north on Main Street back to the old Fire Station.
