People participate in a 5k to show support for law enforcement

Posted:

Community members show their support for Rapid City's finest by running a 5k race Saturday.

The heroes in blue 5k, put on by the Fraternal Order of Police Wives Club, is an inaugural event to honor first responders.

More than 400 hundred people showed up, many of them in blue.

Organizers say it's a fun event to honor our local heroes, and raise money for community non–profits.

"What we wanted to convey was a feeling of excitement and just recognizing the community support for law enforcement and that law enforcement are a part of this community," says Sarah Morrison.

The wives will decide which organizations get the race proceeds sometime in December.
