The OFS Rural Firefighters Team is back for a third year with the Push-Up Challenge!
What is the Push-Up Challenge?
The Push-Up Challenge is a free fitness event that raises funds and awareness for mental health, supporting the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA): https://cmha.ca
The Rural Push-Up Challenge began in 2024 with Stations 41, 45, and 46. It was a huge success—raising $1,310 for CMHA while building camaraderie, friendly inter-station rivalry, and improving fitness.
In 2025, the challenge expanded to 12 stations across all four rural districts. A total of 108 members completed an incredible 130,328 push-ups, raising $19,037.26 for the Canadian Mental Health Association.
The kicks off February 5th. Richmond Fire would like to thank everyone for the incredible support last year and looks forward to your continued support this year.
