About the Badges and Laces 5k
The Badges and Laces 5k is put on jointly by the local police officers foundation and a Delano run club, with proceeds going toward a program that takes kids holiday shopping with police officers. The cause shapes the feel of the morning, and the crowd tends to reflect it.
