The Sgt. Bobby Swartz Memorial 5K was created to honor the legacy of Sgt. Bobby Swartz, who dedicated 25 years of service to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office before he was tragically killed in the line of duty on August 22, 2022. Sgt. Bobby Swartz was known for his unwavering commitment to his community, his colleagues, and his family. His sacrifice left a lasting impact, not only on those who served alongside him but also on the countless lives he touched throughout his career.

In the wake of this tragedy, the 106 Memorial Foundation was founded to carry on his mission of service and support families who have lost loved ones in law enforcement. This 5K is more than just a race—it is a tribute to his life and a way to bring people together to remember and honor all fallen officers. Through this event, we aim to raise awareness, provide crucial resources to surviving families, and ensure that the sacrifices of our heroes are never forgotten.

The inaugural Sgt. Bobby Swartz Memorial 5K, taking place in September 2025, will be a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of the law enforcement community and the families who stand behind them. We invite you to join us in honoring Sgt. Swartz’s legacy and supporting those who continue to serve and protect.
