Run with, not from, the police

When you see a police officer running, it’s usually because they are running to the aid of another. That will be the case Monday morning when all 16 members of the FPD’s SWAT team join more than 3,000 anticipated runners for the 34th Annual Franklin Classic. 

The team’s leader, Sgt. Brian Woodward said, “Most often, our team is called in when people are in serious need of our help. We’re excited to help in a different way this Monday morning, when our team will run with a lot of folks who care about our community’s kids’ healthcare and the wellbeing of their families.” 

The race, centered in Franklin’s downtown area, is a rain or shine event. Registration activities start at 5:45 Monday morning, with a 10k race at 7am and 5k at 8:30am. Mercy Children’s Clinic is a full-service pediatric clinic serving the community’s insured and uninsured.
