About the Run with the Law 10k, 5K & 1-Mile
This race is organized by and benefits the local sheriff's department and its deputy association, with proceeds going toward community programs. Several distance options mean runners of different goals tend to show up, and the law enforcement connection gives the morning a distinct character you do not find at most road races.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a Round Table Pizza near an Old Navy, with race-morning pickup available as well for those who cannot make the pre-race window.

The Run with the Law 10k, 5K & 1-Mile has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
