On May 5, 2016, Special Olympics Wisconsin athletes and community members will "Run with the Cops" in a unique 5k Run/Walk. The event will take place at Donald J. Schneider Stadium and will raise funds for Special Olympics Wisconsin athletes.
For the first time, Run with the Cops is coming to De Pere. This night run allows for participants to illuminate the course with their flashing and glow items. Law enforcement vehicles will also be there to help light up the course. Registration for the event will begin at 5:00 p.m. There will be a 1k Kid's Dash starting at 6:30 p.m. followed by a 5k Run/Walk at 7:30 p.m. Throughout the night, law enforcement will have emergency vehicles to tour, SWAT gear to try on and a jail cell to go into.
Participants only need to fundraise $25 to participate in this unique event. Each runner/walker will receive a T-shirt.
Registration for Run with the Cops is available online at www.runwithcops.org.
