As the weather begins to warm up on Long Beach Island, the streets soon should be filled with runners of all kinds either training for some longer run or just getting in a good workout. On Saturday, May 18, runners of all ages, and walkers as well, are invited to help out the Surf City Volunteer Fire Co. & EMS by participating in the seventh annual Get LBI Running 5K.

During the past six years, Surf City Fire & EMS has raised more than $42,000 as it continues its mission to serve the community.
