20th Street
Hopkins Twp.
Safe Harbor Children’s Advocacy Center and local law enforcement will have their second Badges and Bravery 5k Saturday, Sept. 28, at Camp Jijak on 20th Street, Hopkins Township.
Michigan State Trooper Blaine Bachman and Safe Harbor created the first Badges and Bravery 5k last year. Registration was only open to first responders in Allegan County, but they helped raise more than $10,000 for the children’s advocacy center to help continue providing hope, help, and healing to the children in their community.
This year Badges and Bravery is opening up the race to the public and will allow civilian racers the opportunity to outrun the police. Civilians will be given a head start after escaping from the race jail. Law enforcement and other first responders will need to catch up to “capture” the escapees before they finish the race.
All proceeds from the event will help Safe Harbor provide a lifeline to child victims of abuse and neglect. To register visit, www.runsignup.com/Race/MI/Hopkins/jailbreak
