Join us for the inaugural Washington Police Explorers Post 2438 5k Run on Saturday, May 16, 2026, in beautiful Washington, Franklin! This exciting event not only promotes fitness and community engagement but also supports a great cause. Proceeds from the run will help send local youth explorers, ages 14-20, to the annual St. Louis Area Law Enforcement Explorer Academy, an enriching week-long experience designed to foster interest in law enforcement careers.

Participants can look forward to a spirited race featuring a finisher medal for all runners, along with awards for the top three male and female finishers. This fun-filled day will kick off just before National Police Week, offering a perfect opportunity to honor our local law enforcement while encouraging and empowering the next generation. Lace up your running shoes and come out to support our youth and their aspirations! We can’t wait to see you there!
