Details from event's RunSignUp.com listing:
The Officer Ronald Tarentino, Jr. Charitable Fund is excited to announce the sixth annual Tarentino Strong 5K Run/Walk on June 9, 2024. The road race was established after Officer Tarentino was killed in the line of duty on May 22, 2016, as a way for our greater community to honor him, his dedication to serving others and to celebrate the relationships he made with many throughout Massachusetts. It is also an opportunity to honor all men and women who have served or continue to serve our great country. It is our hope that this event will continue to bond our community ties by gathering and having fun together for a great cause.
This year’s Tarentino Strong Run/Walk will be held at the Auburn Elks Lodge located at 734 Southbridge Street, Auburn, MA. This exciting morning will feature an age 8 and under Kids Fun Run, raffles, DJ, chip timing, live results, and free finish line photos.
