The fourth annual Medford Fit for Life Road Race and Walk will be held on Sunday, October 3, in honor of Medford DARE Officer Patrick Fahey.

The race starts at 10AM and will begin and end at Hormel Stadium. Participants are invited to walk or run a 5K route around MacDonald Park or walk a shorter walking loop.

All proceeds of the event will be donated in loving memory of Officer Fahey and will help deserving young children attend summer camp.
