On Friday, July 19, 2024, Running 4 Heroes will be coming to Connecticut to run for TFC Aaron Pelletier. The event will be held at the Connecticut State Police Training Academy, 285 Preston Ave. Meriden, CT. The youth runner participating in this event is anticipated to arrive at the Training Academy at 12:00 PM, escorted by the CSP Traffic Services Unit. The youth runner will be escorted to the police memorial to film a brief introduction video and then begin a one mile run around the track next to the memorial. At the conclusion of the run, the flag she runs with will be presented to TFC Pelletier’s family (if in attendance) or to Troop H personnel if they are unable to attend. Anyone who wants to run is welcome. For any media personnel who wish to attend, please arrive at the Training Academy no later than 11:30 AM. The media staging area will be on the lawn between the law enforcement memorial and the track itself. A section of the Training Academy parking lot will be reserved for the motorcade, as well as for people in attendance to line up with their cruisers as the motorcade arrives.
