Run for the Blue: Honoring Our Heroes with a 5K/1 Mile Run/Walk
Hello readers!
I’m excited to share an event that’s close to my heart and a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together: Run for the Blue, an annual 5K/1 mile run/walk organized by the Blue Guardian Foundation.
What is Run for the Blue?
Run for the Blue is a free event designed to honor the brave men and women who have given their lives to protect our communities. This event brings together individuals, families, and law enforcement officers to show their support for the families of fallen officers and to raise awareness about the sacrifices these heroes have made.
Event Highlights
Date and Time: The event is held annually, and we look forward to seeing you at the next one!
Location: A scenic route that offers a mix of cityscapes and nature, perfect for runners and walkers of all ages.
Participants: Everyone is welcome! Whether you’re an avid runner, a casual walker, or someone who wants to show support, this event is for you. In previous years, we’ve had notable participants like Chief Garcia and Fort Worth Police Chief Neil Noakes running in full uniform, making it a truly inspiring event.
Why You Should Join
