Jeremy Labonte Memorial 5K

Join the Roswell community as we lace up our running shoes to honor a local hero. The Jeremy Labonte Memorial 5K is more than just a race; it is a community-wide tribute to a man who gave his all for our safety, and a chance for us to come together to support the men and women who wear the badge.

Honoring Officer Jeremy Labonte On February 7th, 2025, Roswell Police Officer Jeremy Labonte was tragically shot and killed in the line of duty while responding to a suspicious person report. Officer Labonte made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the citizens of Roswell, Georgia. We run to remember his bravery, his service, and his unwavering dedication to keeping our community safe.
