Hot Pursuit 5K & 1 Mile Catch-A-Cop
The event is centered at the Pickens County Airport area in Liberty, SC, with race activities and packet pick up at The Scoop at the Airport (155 Technology Place). It features a chip timed 5K run/walk and a one-mile kids Catch-A-Cop event held along airport taxiways and the runway.
Distances:

The Catch-A-Cop course has children chase law enforcement officers to collect flags; participants join a police car parade back to the race start area after the race. Registration for the kids event is free for designated participants and otherwise by donation; the 5K has a registration fee. Registration includes race entry with timing, a race t-shirt, and a finishing medal. T-shirt availability is limited to registrations completed by April 9; registrations after that date do not include a t-shirt.
Awards are presented by gender and age groups: overall 1st/2nd/3rd for male and female under 40, overall 1st/2nd/3rd for ages 40 and over, and first place awards in 10-year age intervals.
