We are doing it again! Five years ago we ran to DC. This year we are doing it in support of our brother, Manny Familia, who lost his life last summer when trying to save a drowning teen. Manny will be memorialized during National Police Week when his name is added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.

The City View 5k will help raise funds for this journey. Please help out and sign up for our race. See above for info.

BOUND FOR D.C. A group of Worcester Police Officers will be running from Worcester to Washington D.C. this May for police week to honor our fallen brother Officer Enmanuel “Manny” Familia, as his name will be placed on the National Law Enforcement Memorial wall. The Worcester City View 5k will be our main fundraising event in support of our run. All additional proceeds will go towards obtaining essential water safety equipment for the Worcester Police Department. The race is officially up on Racewire (link below) and ready for enrollment. The race is 05/01/2022 at 10 a.m. and will start and end at Pepe’s Italian Restaurant, located at 179 Shrewsbury Street, with food and drinks to follow. Please sign up and share if you are available to attend or know a business that would be interested in sponsorship for this event! http://www.cityview5K.racewire.com
