As our community joins the nation in commemorating the lives lost that day on 9/11, we will also be remembering and honoring the many public safety professionals who have lost their lives this past year,  as we host our 5th annual Lakeland Police Foundation Fallen Heroes Memorial 5K in Lakeland. During this year’s race, all in attendance will have the opportunity to run/walk in honor of the 9/11 victims, all former and presently serving members of our armed forces and our nation’s fallen law enforcement officers, including our seven fallen heroes at the Lakeland Police Department.

The Annual Fallen Heroes Memorial 5K run generates funds to maintain Lakeland’s Fallen Heroes Memorial and to support the families of police officers in their moments of need, just as they support us in our greatest moments of need.
