6TH Annual
16 for 16 - 6th Annual Perry Hodge Memorial Run/Walk is a running race on November 21, 2026 in Pulaski, VA, with an entry fee of $60.
Join us for the 6th Annual Memorial Run for Sergeant Perry A. Hodge! Just like last year, the race will take place at the Sgt. Perry A. Hodge Track at Pulaski County Middle School.
This is a 4 mile race instead of a 5K. Where did we come up with this? Two reasons: #1 - 4 miles is equals 16 laps, which was Perry's badge number. #2 - Perry would always ask if we really wanted to leave 9/10 of a mile on the table. We always finished with good even numbers.
Also, with this set up we are going to be able to have agencies set up aid stations along the track to cheer runners on and provide replenishment as they log their miles. BUT, we aren't stopping there. The purchase of your race ticket, by November 7, grants you a sweet 16 for 16 t-shirt, AND food from Bull & Bones!
As in years past, we will award medals to the top 3 men and top 3 women who cross the finish line.
Anyway, entrance is $60 until November 7, 2025. After that, the price goes up to $85! So, it pays to be quick on registering as well as on the track. We look forward to seeing everyone there, raising money for Perry's Legacy Fund, and paying tribute to the best person to ever put on a Pulaski County Sheriff's Office uniform.
We hope to see you there!
