The National Peace Officers Memorial Run was established in 2005 when the Peel Regional Police running team, The Pacers, decided to raise awareness of the annual Police and Peace Officers Memorial Service held annually on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The running team wanted to create a way of raising awareness of the annual service and at the same time pay tribute to those officers who had so valiantly given their lives in service of their Community and their Country.
The runners decided that a three day run from the Ontario Police Memorial in Toronto to the National Memorial in Ottawa would be the best way of achieving this. The 460 km run was planned for the three days preceding the Memorial Service in Ottawa. Funds were also to be raised by the runners through the sale of T-shirts and by collecting donations to be directed towards Trust Funds established in memory of fallen Peace Officers from across the Country.
So on September 22nd, 2005 twenty four members of the Peel Pacers ran the relay style run over the next three days and arrived in Ottawa on Saturday September 24th. The runners then participated in the Memorial Service the next day on Parliament Hill.
This initial Run to Remember raised significant awareness of the Memorial Service as it made its way through the various communities along the route. It also generated interest and enthusiasm from other peace officers from across the Province. As a result the second annual run in 2006 included thirty seven runners and was made up of officers and civilian members from Peel Regional Police, Hamilton Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police.
The third annual run in 2007 saw forty seven participants run the 460 km route and this group was made up of members from Peel Regional Police, Hamilton Police Service, Barrie Police, Guelph Police, Toronto Police and the O.P.P.
In each of the annual runs the core group of runners were also joined by numerous other officers and civilians during the kick off to the run in Toronto, along the route, and during the last portion of the run leading into Ottawa.
From the funds raised during the first three years of the event over $16,500 has been donated to the various Trust Funds established for the families of fallen officers and to the Ontario and National Memorial Funds. The event has truly become a multi jurisdictional event and a meaningful tribute to those brave officers who have given their lives in the line of duty.
They are our heroes, we shall not forget them!
