About this Event
Join us for the 10th Annual 2023 Believe 208 5K Run for the Brave and Finest, Sunday, September 22, 2024.
The 2024 Believe 208 5K Run for the Brave and Finest, in Memory of East Hartford Police Officer Paul Buchanan, supports wellness initiatives for first responders through the Connecticut Alliance to Benefit Law Enforcement (CABLE). The Believe 208 mission is to increase awareness of the unique challenges facing first responders and to be a trusted, influential source for first responders, their families, agencies and community stakeholders. Proceeds from the race help to fund education and training efforts and provide resources to first responders and families in need.
The course is along beautiful (and flat!) "Old Main Street" in East Hartford and South Windsor. View course information .
