The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Community Foundation hosted the fourth annual Heroes Run at Strawtown Koteewi Park on Nov. 2. The race involved a 5K, 1-mile family stroll, virtual opportunity. This year’s race honored EMS and was a tremendous success!
About 330 brave men, women and children registered for the race. Their ages ranged from two to eighty-five years old. Additionally, many participants brought their super cute canine companions to walk in support of the cause. The courageous group embraced the great outdoors and showcased the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Special thanks to the Hamilton County Parks & Recreation, White River Township Fire Department, Riverview Health, Ascension St. Vincent Hospital and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Citizens Academy Alumni Association for graciously supporting the event.
