Description

Course Info

Have you ever wondered if you could really outrun the cops? Now is your chance to test your skills with no consequences for charity.

It doesn’t matter if you are an athlete or a family looking to have some fun for the weekend. You are able to sign up for the 5K run or walk or the 10K run. At the start of the race all of the police officers will start at the rear of the crowed just like in real life when they are trying to catch someone.

Maybe you can keep your lead and beat them to the finish line… Or maybe not.

Can you earn the badge medal and outrun the cops for charity? 

*All participants get a medal but the ones that place in their age category can win the coveted badge with rank. 
Chief takes the place of 1st place
Captain takes the place of 2nd place
