Erik Hite Foundation 12th Annual Fallen Officer Memorial 5K/2 Mile Family Walk and Touch A Truck Event

We are excited to bring back our 5K and Touch the Truck Event in person this year! Join us and run or walk for those who have served, are serving now and those who have given their lives to preserve our freedoms.  Our event will be fun for all ages with an official 5K for those that are competitive.  We will have vendors, kids crafts, face painting, jumping castles and vehicles from various law enforcement departments and local businesses.  All of the funds raised with this event will benefit the childcare center expansion capital campaign.
