The Guardians of the Night K9 5K Race/Run is a true night event that offers a fun, flat, fast-paced race giving runners the opportunity to run alongside Richland County Sheriff's Department K9 Deputies and their own K9 partners. This is a certified race course and chip timing will be used for scoring. This annual event raises funds to benefit the RCSD K9 team. These funds pay for training, food, safety equipment, collars, leads and custom-fit ballistic vests and more for each dog.
This event is also an opportunity for RCSD and the community to honor the memory K9 Fargo, who was killed in the line of duty in 2011, as well as K9 Wick, K9 Kodak, and K9 Bumi who were killed in the line of duty in 2024.
