The Blazin’ Battle Against Brain Cancer

The Blazin' Battle Against Brain Cancer is held in memory of Jim Varin, a dedicated firefighter diagnosed with Glioblastoma at 52. His wish to help others affected by similar conditions is realized through this event, which supports The Rhode Island Brain & Spine Tumor Foundation's mission. Your participation provides comprehensive support to those with brain or spine tumors and their families. The event features awards for top finishers in various age groups, reflecting the spirit of competition and camaraderie. While dogs and strollers are not allowed, this event is an opportunity to effect meaningful change. Thank you for making a difference.
