The Manchester Police Department’s Foot Race for the Fallen first ran in October of 2007, almost a year to the day after Officer Michael Briggs was killed in the line of duty. This race reflects the commitment of the department and community to memorialize our fallen brothers: Officer Briggs, Officer Ralph Miller, Inspector William Moher and Sgt. Henry McAllister.

We invite any and all law enforcement officials, civilians and runners of all skill levels to participate. The 5K course is flat, fast, and US Track and Field Certified. We are also listed as a Grand Prix event for the race season, so please expect runners of all classifications.

Register early! Our first race was a great success, with over 800 participants and we expect well over 1,000 this year. The first 500 registrants will receive a free, moisture wicking, short sleeve T-shirt. Log onto www.mpdrace.com to register online.

We hope to see you at the race!

Please join us. Registration is from 8:30 to 10:30 am. The race starts at 11:00 am. You determine when it finishes!

Our race could not have been made possible without the support of our two primary sponsors, Members First Credit Union and Coca Cola of Manchester...
