ADPS Police Athletic League Blue Night Run 2026

The Aiken Department of Public Safety invites you to join us for the return of The Blue Night Run, a fundraising event to mark the 20th Anniversary of our Police Athletic League (ADPS PAL), a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN: 20-4996684). The Blue Night Run will be held Friday October 9th at Citizens Park beginning with a “fun run” at 6:30pm and the full race at 7:00pm. ADPS PAL was organized in April 2006 to serve the Aiken community by providing children who may not qualify for standard athletic programs and activities due to a lack of disposable income or other environmental barriers, an opportunity to participate in organized sports and other positive activities while engaging with ADPS Officers and others.  Over the years, ADPS PAL has offered activities such as football, cheer, track and field, basketball, chess, golf, horseback riding, mentorship and a PAL Youth Leadership Program. Annually, ADPS PAL impacts 100+ participants and their families. There are no personnel costs incurred by ADPS PAL. All proceeds are used to cover equipment and supplies for PAL programs.
