Covington, Louisiana, will host a 5k Run/Walk with a nice view of Downtown and older part of Covington. Looking forward to the public to get involved and participate in the fun event but great cause. We will be encouraging Fire Departments and Police Departments to send members in Fire Gear and Tactical Gear to participate. The money raised will be sent to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in support of families that experience the loss of a Line of Duty death.
