2017 DELAWARE
MEMORIAL BRIDGE
RUN TO ACCEPTANCE
On Sunday October 1, 2017, at exactly 7:00 a.m.,
with three of the four lanes on the northbound span
of the Delaware Memorial Bridge closed, more than
225 men and women from several neighboring
states did what nobody has done before – they
embarked on a 5k run across the bridge. More than
$34,000 was raised for Special Olympics Delaware.
For some of the runners, it was an opportunity to
support an event that raises money for the very
cause that has given so much to their own family.
In addition to the outpouring of support from the
Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA), key
contributors to and sponsors of the event included
Delaware Law Enforcement for Special Olympics,
M&T Bank, Larkins Bus Services, Emergency
Medical Service, the Delaware Air National Guard,
and a host of law enforcement and fire officials
from several agencies across the First State who
volunteered to ensure the safety of all involved.
Participation for the event was open to active,
retired, or veteran first responders who fell into the
following categories: law enforcement, fire, EMS,
medical and military personnel.
