From the Organizer
Come out for an unforgettable morning of strength, unity, and purpose at the 1st Annual BLUE LINE BURN, benefitting the Officer Daniel Kerstetter Foundation. This is a high-energy community workout led by Michigan State Police officers and Trainer Lindsay Perrigan. Bring your friends, family, and teammates! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, this event is for YOU. Every rep and drop of sweat helps support the Kerstetter Foundation!
First Responders, including their spouse and children, receive a discount for each participant.
Children 11 years of age and younger are free, but they do not receive an event t-shirt. Extra event shirts can be purchased for $20 when registering participants. We ask that all children attending (whether participating or not) be supervised by an adult. There will be plenty of areas designated for spectators to watch the fun.
The DK Foundation carries forward Daniel's legacy of service by supporting law enforcement, championing the physical and mental wellness of officers, and building bridges between law enforcement and youth to create safer, stronger communities for generations to come.
Join us in honoring Daniel's sacrifice and supporting all the men & women in blue!
