Riverside County, California – A countywide 5K run and walk will support first responders and military families this March.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office announced a collaborative Tunnel to Towers Foundation 5K Run & Walk scheduled for Saturday, March 21, at the Ben Clark Training Center in Riverside.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the event is being held in partnership with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department, and Moreno Valley College. The run is designed to raise awareness and financial support for first responders, military service members, and their families.
The event will begin at 8 a.m. at the Ben Clark Training Center, located at 16921 Bundy Avenue in Riverside. Participants can register in advance through the official event website at runwalkriverside.t2t.org.
Tunnel to Towers Foundation events are held nationwide and honor the sacrifices of firefighters, law enforcement officers, and military personnel who are killed or seriously injured in the line of duty. Funds raised typically support mortgage-free homes and financial assistance for affected families, according to the foundation.
The Sheriff’s Office stated the Riverside County event also aims to bring the community together through physical activity while recognizing the service of local public safety agencies and veterans.
Organizers say the run and walk is open to all ages and fitness levels, allowing participants to either compete in the 5K or walk the course at their own pace.
The event may be of particular interest to local students, young workers, and commuters looking for a weekend community activity tied to a charitable cause.
Additional event details, including registration deadlines and participation guidelines, are available through the official Tunnel to Towers registration page.
