Join us for the Back the Blue Run ,1-Mile Fun Run, 5k, and 10k race, a family-friendly community event dedicated to strengthening the relationship between law enforcement and the communities we proudly serve. Whether you're an experienced runner, a casual walker, or simply looking for a fun way to spend the day with family and friends, everyone is welcome.  We are excited to add a 5k Ruck category.
