Even Batman showed up to support 2024 Heroes Run

Submitted by HCSO

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) Community Foundation held its the fourth annual Heroes Run on Nov. 2 at Strawtown Koteewi Park.

The race involved a 5K, one-mile family stroll, and a virtual opportunity. This year’s race honored EMS (Emergency Medical Services)! The event was a tremendous success!

Three hundred and thirty brave men, women and children registered for the race. Their ages ranged from 2 to 85. Additionally, many participants brought their super cute canine companions to walk in support of the cause. The courageous group embraced the great outdoors and showcased the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Special thanks to Hamilton County Parks & Recreation, the White River Township Fire Department, Riverview Health, Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, and the HCSO Citizens Academy Alumni Association for graciously supporting the event.

The HCSO Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization which creates opportunities for the community and law enforcement to support each other. The funds generated help reach the following goals throughout the year:

• Provide financial aid and help for those in need in the community, particularly children.
• Support hard-working employees at the Sheriff’s Office.
• Build stronger relationships between deputies, correctional officers and staff with all members of the community.
