Being a first responder can be one of the most stressful, demanding, and at times isolating jobs in the world, both for the first responder and the first responder’s family. One of the best ways to counteract the negative physical and mental health effects is through exercise, camaraderie, and community.
The CPD Run Club offers a venue for first responders to connect, get healthy, and support each other, their families, and the communities they serve.
Thank you for your continued support!
