Registration for the 7th Annual NYPD Memorial 5K Run,
scheduled for Sunday, May 18, 2008, is now open.
Please come out and support this important event which is run in memory of
more than 700 NYPD Officers who have been killed in the line of duty. The
day's activities begin with a short prayer service at the NYPD Memorial Wall,
in Battery Park City, followed by a 5K Run, a Children's Fun Run, a great
barbeque, and many raffle prizes for everyone in attendance. This year special
recognition will be offered in memory of Police Officer Russel Timoshenko and
Auxiliary Officers Nicholas T. Pekearo and Yevgeniy???s (Eugene) Marshalik who
were killed in the Line of Duty in 2007.
***********************************************************************
This year we have created something special and new to ensure that we have a
runner for every officer whose name is etched in the Memorial Wall. When you
register for the race you will have the ability to designate an officer you
are running in memory of and their name will be prominently displayed on your
running bib. You'll also have the ability to order additional bibs to run in
memory of more than one officer. Each runner's bib will have an officer's name
on it with a selected phrase if choosen. If your not sure who you should run
in memory of consider looking on the wall of any precinct to see the names of
the heroes we've lost. If you can't decide between two or more officers order
extra bibs and run with all of their names on you back if necessary. If you
don't choose an officer's name one will be randomly assigned to your bib. See
the official registration page for a sample bib and a list of all officer's we
are running in memory of.
***********************************************************************
This year is going to be one of our best memorial runs ever with several
different new things planned for the day.
Please register for this race as soon as possible and encourage family and
friends to do so as well. It's up to us to make sure that we have a runner for
every hero we've lost.
