The Larimer County Sheriff's Office is inviting citizens to be a part of the inaugural Jailbreak 4-Mile Family Run/Walk coming up in September.  It's a chance to get some exercise and will benefit the Child Advocacy Center in Larimer County.

What is the Jailbreak 4-Mile About?

The Jailbreak 4-Mile was the idea of Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith who wanted to create an event to  bring members of the community together with members of the Sheriff’s Office in a fun atmosphere, raise money for a beneficial organization, the Child Advocacy Center, as well as get people up and off the couch on a Saturday morning to do something active.

In addition to the walk/run, what else is planned?

  • Demonstrations and exhibits by the Sheriff’s Office Posse
  • SWAT Team, K-9 Unit, Bomb Squad
  • Crime Scene Investigators and Wild Land Fire/Rescue

You can also meet the deputies, see their equipment in action, and learn about their jobs protecting Fort Collins and Larimer County.
