October 9, 2012 — The Salt Lake City Police Department has changed its annual Beat the Heat 5K into a Hot Pursuit, which this year joins with the YWCA Week Without Violence 5K presented by the Young Lawyer Division of the Utah State Bar Saturday, October 20, 8 a.m. at Popperton Park, 11th Avenue and Virginia Street.
The course, cash and prizes remain the same — it’s just a new name, partners and charitable cause. If you are interested in running as a team, sign up in groups of four when you register online. Prizes will be awarded for the best uniforms and the lowest cumulative team time.
The Hot Pursuit 5K begins at 8 a.m., followed by a free 1K fun run for kids with Police Chief Chris Burbank at 9 a.m.
Registration costs $20. Proceeds from the race will benefit:
So lace up those sneakers, and join us for a good time and a good cause!
