Donations: $20 for the 1-Mile, $30 for the 5K, and 10K, with group discounts of 5 or more receiving $5 off per registrant! There are medals for all finishers and prizes for various age brackets. Registrants receive free t-shirts, water and snacks. Day of Registration cost is $35.00.
DPD family and friends are encouraged to come out and support this worthy cause. Joining the event is Officer Mark Wallace as our DJ. Also, SRT will be there with their APC, Dive Team, Bomb Squad and Mounted Section. This event will be fun for the entire family!
