The course covers 3.1 miles. It begins on a closed road, enters the Massapequa Preserve after a few hundred yards, and includes roughly half the distance on dirt and gravel trails and half on a paved trail before returning to the roadway for the finish.
Event amenities have included finisher medals for 5K adult finishers, an after party with food and music, event T shirts when available, live and same-day results by text or email, free finish line photos, and personalized bibs for registrations completed three weeks in advance.
Awards recognize the top three men and top three women overall; top man and top woman Active NYPD officer, who may also be eligible for overall awards; and age-group winners across a wide range of brackets from 15 and under through 90 plus.
Proceeds support initiatives for department morale and officer mental health, assistance for families after a suicide, grief groups, seminars for officers, community events, and related awareness and prevention costs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
