The "Run with the Heroes" 5K is a race with a purpose.... more than just winning! It was designed to bring communities together with first responders, to honor fallen heroes of emergency services and show support for their families. Emergency responders (which include Police, Fire and EMS) are one large family, and each year "Run with the Heroes" honors fallen brothers and sisters. The 2010 "Run with the Heroes" honors three: Drew Bolin - Austin Police Department, Tracy Chambers - Williamson County EMS and James Glass - Austin Fire Department.
Each year, Austin Police officers team with Special Olympics Texas' athletes to run the "Flame of Hope" to the Opening Ceremonies of Special Olympic Games. In the spirit of the partnership with the law Enforcement Torch Run, "Run with the Heroes" is honored to donate its proceeds to Special Olympics Texas' athletes and their goals!
