Description
Law Enforcement Against Drugs and Violence (L.E.A.D.) is having its inaugural 5k Run/Walk in Ridgefield Park on Saturday, October 16, at 9 a.m. Hosted by L.E.A.D., which teaches students about
the
dangers of drugs and violence,
the
race, sponsored by Colliers Engineering and Design and Green Team Worldwide Environmental Group, will take place at Overpeck County Park, located on Challenger Road.
Supported by dedicated police officers, L.E.A.D. provides leadership and resources so law enforcement agencies can partner with educators, community leaders and families with
the
only proven effective anti–drug, anti–violence curriculum for students K-12. Over
the
course of
the
10-week program, officers and educators teach
the
L.E.A.D. curriculum to educate our youth on how they can make smart decisions without
the
involvement of drugs. L.E.A.D. currently operates in 37 states across
the
U.S.
The
race will start on Challenger Road, where participants will run or walk their three miles to
the
finish line. All runners will be provided with accurate times.
The
run will occur as scheduled:
8 a.m. Registration
9 a.m. Race Start
9:30 a.m. Beginning of After Party
10-10:15 a.m. Awards Ceremony
12:30 p.m. Event concludes
Race registrants are encouraged to make teams to receive an award for
the
highest raising team, and additional prizes will be awarded to
the
three fastest men and women as well as to those who raise certain amounts of money. All attendees will receive a free water bottle at
the
race.
Participants may register pre-race day for $30 or on race day for $35. 75% of net profits raised from
the
5K will go toward
the
participating local L.E.A.D. chapter.
