WHO WE ARE – The “Run With The Heroes 5K” is a race with a purpose…It’s more than just winning! It was designed to bring communities together with first responders, to honor fallen heroes of emergency services and show support for their families. Emergency Responders, which include Police, Fire, and EMS, are one large family, and each year “Run With The Heroes” honors a fallen brother or sister.
This year, the run will honor three individuals:
Austin Police Department Officer – Drew Bolin
EMS Paramedic – Tracy Chambers
Austin Firefighter – James Glass
In remembrance of our fallen First Responders, one of our own, read more at www.sotx.org. Their spirit lives on in our hearts.
Each year, Austin Police officers team with Special Olympics Texas’ athletes to run the “Flame of Hope” to the Opening Ceremonies of Special Olympics Games. This year, in the spirit of the partnership with the Law Enforcement Torch Run, “Run With The Heroes” is honored to donate its proceeds to Special Olympics Texas’ athletes and their goals!
