The Northeast Mississippi Line of Duty Memorial Race is a community-focused 5K and challenge held in during National Police Week for those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Taking place during a weekend of remembrance, this race provides an opportunity for participants to come together in support, reflection, and unity. Participants may walk or run the 5K, and a challenge option will also be available for those looking for a more competitive experience. The race is open to runners and walkers of all ages and fitness levels. Proceeds from the event help support memorial-related efforts and provide scholarships for officers from departments with limited resources to attend survival and advanced training classes at the Monroe County Training Center. Whether you are running in memory of someone, in support of law enforcement families, or simply to stand with your community, this race is a meaningful way to honor service, sacrifice, and remembrance in Northeast Mississippi.
