The family event provides the opportunity to show support for local law enforcement and raise funds for the Lakeland Police Foundation, which provides support to officers and members of the Lakeland Police Department during times of hardship and crisis along with scholarship and educational opportunities.
The chip-timed race will begin at 7:00 AM, and provisions will be made to allow for staggered start times to ensure safety precautions are offered related to COVID-19.
