Initiative provides firefighters with adidas running shoes, Track Club membership and fitness resources
ATLANTA - March 13, 2026 - Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation is partnering
with Atlanta Track Club as it launches Healthy Heroes, a new initiative designed to support the physical
wellness of Atlanta firefighters.
The Healthy Heroes program promotes fitness, functional movement, weight
management and overall health through a combination of wellness programming,
health screenings and training opportunities. Participants will also have the
opportunity to take part in curated fitness events such as the Bravest of the
Brave Obstacle Challenge, the Annual Firefighter 5K and the 9/11 Memorial Stair
Climb at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Through the program, Atlanta Track Club provides Atlanta firefighters
with adidas running shoes, a complimentary Atlanta Track Club membership and
access to select races to help them stay active and prepared for the physical
demands of the job.
"Atlanta Track Club is proud to stand alongside the Atlanta Fire Rescue
Foundation in support of the men and women who work every day to keep our city
safe," said Rich Kenah, CEO of Atlanta Track Club. "Firefighters and first
responders embody strength, resilience and service — values that mirror the
spirit of our organization. By helping them prioritize their own health and
fitness, we're investing in the well-being of those who do so much for all of
us."
"Our expanded partnership with Atlanta Track Club deepens our commitment
to supporting both the personal and professional needs of our firefighters,"
said Taos Wynn, President and CEO of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation. "This
program keeps health top of mind and prioritizes the physical well-being of
Atlanta firefighters so they can continue meeting the demands of their critical
work."
Atlanta Fire Chief Roderick M. Smith said initiatives like Healthy
Heroes help strengthen the department's ability to serve the city.
"The strength of this department has always been its people," Smith
said. "Programs like Healthy Heroes help ensure our firefighters have the
support, fitness and resilience they need to meet the demands of this
profession and continue serving the citizens of Atlanta at the highest level."
