On a crisp morning in Bridgeport, West Virginia, the rhythmic pounding of thousands of sneakers replaces the silence of the city park. This is the Derek Hotsinpiller Fallen Stars 5K, a local tribute that has evolved into a global movement of solidarity. This annual tradition transforms collective grief into measurable community progress, honoring those who serve behind the badge while ensuring their sacrifices fuel a brighter future for the next generation of public servants. This year’s race, marking another milestone in the foundation’s history, will be held on June 6th. Registration for the race is now open.
