Announcing The First Annual Hero Games

A First Responder Bootcamp Competition to Benefit the Relay for Life

Come out to support your local first responder heroes as they compete in a challenging bootcamp-style event. The event takes place on Saturday, June 14, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Berlin Fairgrounds in Berlin, Connecticut.

Teams from local police departments, fire departments, the Department of Corrections, as well as civilian teams will compete in eight physical challenges that will include a 2-mile run, an obstacle course, giant tire flip and a fire truck pull.

The Hero Games is a celebration of our everyday heroes and brings together local first responders together for a day of friendly competition for a good cause. Proceeds from the event will benefit the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

Visitors are encouraged to come out to support their local teams. There will be food available for purchase from Kiwanis and Rita's Ice, and activities including a DJ, bounce houses and mini-Hero Games challenges.

The Hero Games will culminate with a trophy presentation to the winning team and a check presentation to The Relay For Life at 2 p.m.
