The annual Honoring the Fallen 5K returned for its fifth year, bringing together the Clermont community to pay tribute to fallen police officers. Hosted by the Clermont Police Department, the race took place in Historic Downtown Clermont and saw remarkable growth from previous years.
With over 600 participants, this year’s event was completely sold out and no longer accepting entries, a testament to the strong support for law enforcement and the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in 2024. The event raises funds to assist the families of fallen officers, ensuring they receive the support they need during difficult times.
Suncreek Brewery served as the race venue, opening its doors for pre-race activities from 4 to 5 pm. At 5 pm, the opening ceremony commenced, offering a heartfelt tribute to the officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. Attendees joined together in remembrance, honoring their courage and dedication.
The overwhelming response to this year’s event highlights the deep respect and appreciation that the Clermont community holds for its law enforcement officers. As the event grows, it stands as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve and protect.
Congratulations to all who honored the Fallen 5K.
