Jarid Taylor Memorial Run
The event on July 25, 2026 in Durant, Oklahoma is held at 2ND & EVERGREEN and includes a race program and a t-shirt-only option. Distances offered include:
- 5K Run
- 1 Mile Fun Run
Packet pickup is scheduled for Friday, July 24 from 12:00 to 6:00 PM at 724 W Texas St, Durant, OK.
Proceeds support several local and state law enforcement–related efforts. These include the Oklahoma C.O.P.S. chapter, which assists family members and co-workers of fallen officers; the Jarid Taylor Heart of a Hero award presented to one cadet at each CLEET and KTC police academy graduation; an annual Blessed Peacemaker award for an officer from each Bryan County police department; and annual partnerships with a local police department to provide funds for equipment and supplies. In past years funds have been awarded to local departments.
The event honors the life of Jarid Taylor, a Bryan County Sheriff’s Deputy who died in a traffic incident on January 14, 2020 while en route to a 911 call. The event also serves as an occasion for community remembrance and to mark his birthday on July 28. Jarid is remembered in the source text as a father of two children who enjoyed deer hunting and OU football. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
