Due to health concerns, we are postponing this year's event that was scheduled for July 11th in Dallas. We are working on a plan to reschedule this important community event at a later date.
Thank you for your support!
On July 7, 2016, five police officers were killed and eight police officers were injured in the line of duty in an ambush on the Dallas Police Department, Dallas Area Rapid Transit Police, and El Centro College Police. Run For The Blue was founded in response to this attack to support fallen and injured officers and their families.
In observance of the anniversary of the ambush, Run For The Blue Dallas will be held on July 11, 2020. In addition to a 5K and 1 Mile run / walk, ceremonies honoring fallen and injured officers will be held.
Walkers and runners are welcome. The course will remain open for one hour.
Race entry is free. You will have the opportunity to make a donation during registration. Proceeds will go to the families of slain and injured police officers.
You will also have the option to add chip timing for an additional fee and to purchase merchandise.
Funds donated to Run For The Blue events are collected and distributed by the Blue Guardian Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.
Donations of services and products to the events are welcomed so that contributions to the affected officers and families can be maximized. Please contact us to learn how individuals and organizations can help.
We encourage cities around the country to create their own Run For The Blue event to support local fallen and injured officers. Please contact us for details.

It will be hot on event day. Drink water, take in electrolytes, and take it easy on your run or walk. Ask for help if you feel dizzy or sick.
