"Blessed are the Peacemakers!" This race event took place at the Idaho Correctional facilities located in Kuna, Idaho. The proceeds from this event provides educational scholarships for survivors of Idaho Fallen Officers directly from the memorial fund. http://www.idahopeaceofficersmemorial.com/ The race was kicked off to a start by the prison sirens and a warcraft airplane flying overhead. It was almost an eary feeling, but exciting all at once to be present here as the runners took off on their course through the desert and back. The rain held off until the very end during the awards ceremony. It was my honor to personally give out awards to the winners of the 5k, 10k and the half marathon along with Retired Peace Officer and currently Representive Rich Wills from district 22. What a wonderful man and servant of our great state! Once again, it is a great feeling to see how supported events such as these are helping families of officers that have served honorably in our communities.
Hugs,
Beverly Hartle
