Memorial Race

A Memorial Race Honoring Lives Lost

Giving Back Since 2011

The Derek Hotsinpiller Fallen Stars 5K is held annually to honor those law enforcement officers across this country who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty while following their call to serve and protect our communities.  We hope you can join us to help reach our goal of over 1500 participants this year.  Revenue generated from the race is entrusted to the Hotsinpiller Foundation to provide scholarships for those who wish to pursue or enhance their law enforcement career, support local law enforcement agencies and their mission, and assist injured officers and their families.
