Hot Pursuit 5k

The Hot Pursuit 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Catch-A-Cop event takes place in Pickens, South Carolina, starting and finishing at Doodle Park. This chip-timed race features a certified 5K course and a special 1-mile race for children in 8th grade and under, who try to "catch a cop" by collecting flags along the route to Bruce Field, followed by a police car procession back to the park. Proceeds support purchasing a wheelchair-accessible swing for Easley, SC.

The event offers awards by age and gender categories, includes race shirts and medals, and emphasizes community involvement through the Youth Leadership Academy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
