🚔 Run From the Cops – National Night Out Fun Run 🍩

Think you can outrun the cops? 😏 Join us for a one-of-a-kind, family-friendly event during Williamston’s National Night Out at McCormick Park!

Participants will race through the park while being playfully chased by local officers (all in good fun, of course). Whether you're racing to win or just trying to avoid getting “caught,” expect lots of laughs, community fun, and donuts at the finish line.

💙 Even better? Proceeds from the event will support local law enforcement!!

Race Schedule:
👮 Kids Race: Starts around 5:00 PM (Kids 12 & under are FREE!)
🏃 Adult Race: Begins shortly after (approximately 5:15–5:30 PM)

Come early and stay after! National Night Out runs from 4:00–8:00 PM and McCormick Park will be packed with fun for the whole family, including:

🚓 First responders, vehicles, and equipment to explore
🎶 Live DJ at the bandshell
🐐 Petting zoo
💦 Water shower/splash area for kids (weather permitting)
🌭 FREE hot dogs
🎁 Vendors, giveaways, local businesses, and community organizations
💚 Special appearances from Sparty mascots!

This is more than a race. It’s a fun night to connect with the community, laugh a lot, and make memories with your family.

🍩 Don’t get caught. Or do… there are donuts at the finish line either way.
