North Creek Explorer 5k/10k Run & Walk Virtual Race

Run like the future depends on it! Because it does. You are invited to join us for the virtual North Creek Explorer 5K & 10K Run & Walk on December 5, 2020. Your proceeds will directly benefit the Coconut Creek Police Department Explorer Program. A program that supports protecting and serving our future community.

The Explorers Program provides students, ages 14 – 18, actual experience and training for a career in law enforcement. Proceeds will cover costs for uniforms, equipment, trips, regional competitions and supplies. Without your help students cannot cover these costs or pursue their passion - giving back to the community. Help us meet our fundraising goal of $5,000 and give these students and our community the bright future it deserves! Show your support by signing up for the race or simply donating below.
