This year was the 2nd annual Officer's Down 5K for Lehighton and also my second year participating. With that said, I kind of knew what to expect concerning the hilly terrain. This year I walked the 5K with my mom who is recovering from back surgery as I was also recovering from ACL surgery. What's great about this race - other than the cause - is that it is family, dog, and walker friendly.

Unfortunately, this year it snowed so it was cold and there was very few participants. However, the post race festivities were just as good as the first year - including face painting for the kids, local LE agencies selling their merchandise, music, and raffles.

I cant wait to go back next year!
