Get Ready to Run!

The MACEM&PS Run to the Rescue 5K leaves the starting gates soon…and we want you to be there!

We’ve worked together with FCC to host our first-ever fundraising event – a 5K in honor of the brave folks who run to our rescue every day, and to benefit the students who’ll one day follow in their footsteps.

Whether you’re running to set your own personal best time, just want to walk in support, or somewhere in between (a light jog?), you’re invited!

IS THERE A COST?
There’s a registration fee of $35 – all of it will go towards the MACEM&PS Scholarship Fund!

Following the 5K, stick around for the Western Maryland Public Safety Expo!
Organized by the Frederick Police Department, the Expo is a career fair showcasing jobs and organizations across the whole public safety spectrum, which will also be held on FCC’s campus from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

EVENT DETAILS

---

1. Participants must sign in at the check-in table prior to the start of the race.

2. On-site registration will not be available, so if you’re going to join in, be sure to register by 10:00 AM on April 19th!

3. All 5K participants need to complete the Run to Rescue 5K liability waiver. Waivers must be submitted and on file with us before race check-in time.

4. Those ages 16 or younger are welcome to participate, but must be accompanied by a chaperone age 21 or above. (They’ll also need a parent/guardian’s signature on the waiver.)

5. Pets are not permitted. (We know, we love them too, but they can lead to safety risks in events like this with lots of agencies, demonstrations, and moving parts.)

6. Those planning to walk will be positioned to start after those who plan to run. Please follow the directions of event staff as they get you sorted out and ready to go!
