Run with the Cops this fall to benefit Shop with a Cop this Christmas! The Conyers Police Department is hosting the first ever Shop with a Cop 5K race and fun run Saturday, October 1, 2016. Shop with a Cop is an annual event in December in which law enforcement personnel accompany children from families experiencing financial hardships to the Conyers Wal-Mart to shop for Christmas gifts.
The race will start and finish at the Rockdale County Government Complex, 1400 Parker Road, and route along the City of Conyers Walking Trails. The one mile fun run will begin at 8:30 a.m. in which the CPD Special Response Team will be participating and have a meet and greet and photo opportunities immediately following. The 5K race will begin at 9:30 a.m. First, second and third place trophies will be awarded for the 5K and every race participant will receive a medal and goodie bag!
This is an event for all ages and walkers are certainly welcome. This will be a great event for community partners, walking clubs, Girl and Boy Scout troops, schools, gym members, prayer groups and more.
