Fireline 408: A Tribute to Utah’s Wildland Firefighters and Their Families

As born and raised Utahns, we’ve always felt a deep love and connection to our beautiful state. Now, we’re putting that love into action by running the entire length of Utah — 408 miles, from the northern border to the southern edge — in honor of the wildland firefighters who dedicate their lives to protecting our communities and landscapes.

Over the course of 14 days, we — three wildland firefighters — will push ourselves to the limit, running an ultra marathon a day to raise money for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. This organization provides critical crisis assistance to fallen or injured firefighters and their families, helping to ease their burdens during some of their darkest times.

Organizations like the Wildland Firefighter Foundation are absolutely crucial to us. As firefighters, we know that there are very few safety nets or compensation systems in place if something happens to us while we're on duty. They step in to provide the support that is often missing — financial help, emotional support, and a community that understands the unique challenges of our profession. The Foundation is vital for the well-being of our families, our colleagues, and the firefighting community as a whole.

This journey is aimed to honor Utahs landscape, and more importantly, the men and women who sacrifice daily to protect its land and communities. We’re proud to run for them, and grateful for your support to help us reach our fundraising goal. Your donation will fuel the runners first, all additional proceeds will go to the wildland firefighter foundation.
