About this race
Ritter Way Challenge 5K Run and Walk
Mill Pond Kennels 1222 Wall Rd. Broussard LA 70518 All proceeds for this event will go directly to the Jamieson Ritter Foundation! https://www.jamiesonritterfoundation.org/ Jamieson was a devoted public servant, a proud member of the U.S. Army National Guard, and a dedicated police officer in Cleveland, Ohio. He was known for his selfless service, quiet strength, and unwavering commitment to protecting and uplifting his community. Tragically, Jamieson’s life was cut short in the line of duty on July 4, 2024. His loss has left a profound void in the lives of his family, friends, and all who knew him. In the wake of this tragedy, the Jamieson Ritter Foundation was created to carry forward the values Jamieson lived by—service, compassion, and community. The Foundation supports initiatives that reflect Jamieson’s passions, including scholarships, community safety programs, and outreach efforts that build bridges between law enforcement and the communities they serve.Event Details:
