Peace Officer Memorial Run
The Peace Officer Memorial Run takes place on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in Modesto, California. The event location is listed as 1101 I St, Modesto, CA 95354. The program includes a range of in-person and virtual events for different participant formats.
Events offered include a half marathon, a half marathon relay, a 5K, a Full Gear Challenge half marathon, a Full Gear Challenge 5K, a kids fun run, a virtual half marathon, and a virtual 5K. Some events are restricted to law enforcement participants. A kids fun run is included as a noncompetitive option for children.
The race was developed to honor police officers from Stanislaus County who were killed in the line of duty. The start line, finish line and each mile of the half marathon are dedicated to one of the 20 fallen officers. At each dedicated mile marker the officer’s photo is displayed along with the agency they served and their “End of watch” date.
Race information indicates both in-person and virtual participation choices and a memorial structure integrated into the half marathon course to recognize the service and sacrifice of local officers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
