In 2008, the VHPD sponsored its first 5K race in almost 20 years. The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge #34 previously held the Vernon Hills Classic 5K race to benefit various local charities. The new and improved version certainly follows its predecessor's lead. Now known as the 'Run From the Cops' 5K, participants can either run or walk a scenic course starting at the Vernon Hills Summer Celebration site and extending up and through the Gregg's Landing subdivision before ending back at the festival grounds.

This race has my favorite running shirt, maybe of all time. The logo of a cop with a night stick in a running pose is awesome! I ran the race this morning and was happy with the event.
