NCPD POLICE OFFICERS MEMORIAL 5K RUN
The race is held at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, New York (start/finish
at the Field House, Hempstead Turnpike).
In 1993 the Nassau Police Running Club held a 5K run in memory of Nassau
County Police Officer Gary R. Farley who tragically died in the line of duty. PO
Farley was the first officer to lose his life in the line of duty since the inception
of the Nassau Police Running Club in 1980. Since 1993, the Nassau County
Police has tragically lost many additional members who were serving the
people they were sworn to protect. The Nassau Police Running Club has
vowed to ensure that these officers lives would not be lost in vain and the club
is committed to making sure all members and their families know that we will
never forget the sacrifice their loved ones have endured. The Nassau County
Police Officer Memorial Run is held annually and proceeds from the Nassau
Police Officer Memorial Run will be used to present scholarships in the names
of our fallen officers. These scholarships will be presented to graduating high
school seniors attending secondary education and who are involved in their
schools running clubs.
