Race for the
Fallen 1/2 Marathon - Red Top Mountain State
Park Saturday, September 15th, 2012
Red Top Mountain
State Park
50 Lodge Rd SE
Cartersville, GA 30121
Each year, more
than 140 officers leave for work but dont return home to
the families who love and support them. The reasons are
varied they may be involved in an auto accident; they may
be killed in an incident with a criminal; they may have
performed a routine traffic stop to ticket a speeder; or
they may have responded to a domestic dispute that took a
deadly turn. Regardless of the reason, the harsh reality is
that the men and women of our local police departments who
have chosen to accept the honor of protecting our
communities often face deadly consequences that leave their
families in dire straits. When we lose a member of the
police force, we lose an experienced, trained community hero
who gave his or her life to protect the community. When we
lose an officer a family loses a husband, a wife, a sister
or brother... a child loses a father or a mother.
The Police
Benevolent Foundation, Inc exists to help the law
enforcement officers and their families. We are there to
help restore normalcy in the wake of tragedy. The Race
for the Fallen Half Marathon was created to honor the
brave men and women who risk their lives everyday to protect
our families, and it is a tribute to the officers who gave
their lives to protect our community. Strength! Endurance!
Dedication! Words to describe our officers; elements to
complete our race.
Registration Fee:
$45 before March 1st
$50 before April 1st - $55 before May 1st
- $60 before June 1st - $65 before
