🏁 16th Annual Derek Hotsinpiller Fallen Stars 5KRun • Walk • Honor — Anywhere in the World.
We don’t do small goals — because this mission is anything but small.
For our 16th year, we’re going BIG for our heroes:
⭐ 1,500 runners
🌍 25 countries
🇺🇸 All 50 states
🗺️ All 55 counties in West Virginia
Every step taken in the Derek Hotsinpiller Fallen Stars 5K honors the law enforcement officers and K9s who gave their lives in the line of duty and supports the families they left behind. This is more than a race… It’s a global movement of gratitude, remembrance, and community.
We believe in this mission with all our hearts, and we are endlessly grateful for the thousands of runners, families, officers, and supporters who believe in it too. Let’s make it happen together! 💙
