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.
