Second Annual Badges of Honor 5K Run

The Second Annual Badges of Honor 5K Run will be held on Saturday, June 5, 2010 at Fairmount Park (in front of the Please Touch Museum). The race was established to strengthen the relationship between Philadelphia’s Public Safety employees and the communities they heroically serve while raising money for a great cause. In honor of Philadelphia’s fallen heroes, 2,500 runners are expected to participate. The proceeds will go to the Survivor’s Fund and will defray the cost related to Philadelphia police officers, firefighters and correctional officers who died in the line of duty.

Registration begins at 7:00 am and Mayor Nutter will kick off the race at 9 am. The 2010 entry fee for the Badges of Honor 5K is $27.50. Runners may register online at www.BadgesofHonor5k.com. Cancellations for this event are allowed, however no refunds will be given. All entry fees will be considered a donation to the Survivor’s Fund.
