From the Organizer
This race was developed to honor the police officers from Stanislaus County who were killed in the line of duty. In honor of these heroes, the start line, finish line and each mile of the half marathon will be dedicated to one of the 20 fallen officers from Stanislaus County. The officers photo along with the agency they worked for and their “End of watch” date will be displayed at their mile marker.
