The 13th Annual Fallen Officer Memorial 5K & Family Festival, hosted by the Erik Hite Foundation, is a community-driven gathering aimed at honoring the service and sacrifice of those who have served in law enforcement. This event offers a diverse range of activities suitable for all ages, including an official 5K for competitive participants and a 2-mile fun walk for those looking for a more leisurely pace.

If attendees don't plan on walking or running, this is also a free event where they can enjoy various attractions such as vendors, kids' crafts, face painting, jumping castles, and a display of vehicles from first responder departments and local businesses. Importantly, all funds raised during this event contribute to the childcare center expansion capital campaign, making it a meaningful and impactful occasion.
