From the Organizer
Join us for a run under the stars at the Kentucky State Police Training Academy on Friday, September 18th, 2026, at 7:30 pm.
The Run to Remember is a 5k fundraiser that pays tribute to the Kentucky State Police's fallen units, who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The Kentucky State Police Foundation supports the professional men and women of the Kentucky State Police by funding employee training, specialized equipment, employee support and more. Since its inception, the Kentucky State Police Foundation has provided KSP with over $450,000 to support unfunded needs, including marketing funds for recruiting new troopers, providing ballistic harnesses for the K-9 branch, employee wellness initiatives, and more. This 5K event ensures the Foundation can continue to support our local heroes.
