The Peace Officer Memorial Run begins and ends in downtown Modesto, California, on the first Sunday of October annually. It features a 5K, half marathon, relay, and fun run, accommodating individuals competing in longer distances, team participants, and families attending the shorter events. The race is timed, includes event photos, and provides participants with shirts, bibs, and medals. The run is organized by the Peace Officer Memorial Group of Stanislaus County, a nonprofit established to honor officers who die in the line of duty and support their families. The start and finish area hosts vendor booths and a safety fair, with awards presented to overall and age-group finishers. The Kids' Fun Run maintains a playful tradition where children pursue a pretend "bad guy" as part of the event.
