Run. Walk. Support.
Join us for our annual Support Blue Run — a powerful community event uniting the Central Valley in visible support of the men and women in law enforcement.
When you participate, you’re doing more than running a race. You’re investing in the mission of the Fresno Police and Fire Chaplaincy — committed to being First to Serve, providing spiritual and emotional support to first responders and the community during crisis, tragedy, and critical incidents.
Why Support Blue Matters
The Support Blue campaign exists to:
🤝 Strengthen trust and connection between law enforcement and the community
💙 Provide a meaningful way for families, businesses, and individuals to visibly show their support
👮♂️ Create positive engagement opportunities between the community and officers
🙏 Fund the programs and resources that allow the Fresno Police and Fire Chaplaincy to respond when the call comes
Every registration helps ensure chaplains can show up at hospitals, death notifications, critical incidents, and community crises throughout the year.
