21st Annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Run: Honouring Service Through Unity and Endurance
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WIIKWEMKOONG – SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 — The 21st Annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Run (NPOMR), known as the “Run to Remember,” will take place from September 25th to September 27th, 2025. This powerful three-day relay run spans over 460 kilometers from the Ontario Police Memorial at Queen’s Park in Toronto to the National Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
What began in 2005 with 24 runners from the Peel Regional Police Pacers Running Team has grown into a national event, now involving over 300 law enforcement professionals from more than 30 agencies across Canada. The NPOMR is a tribute to officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities and country.
This year, the Wikwemikong Tribal Police Service (WTPS) proudly announces the participation of Constable Katelyn Morgan, who will be representing the Police service in this year’s run. Constable Morgan holds the distinction of being a proud Indigenous Police Service Constable participating in the 2025 NPOMR, bringing a meaningful layer of representation and honor to the event.
“The National Peace Officers’ Memorial Run is far more than a physical challenge—it is a solemn journey of remembrance, unity, and respect. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who served with courage and honour, Chief Ron Gignac stated. “ We are incredibly proud of Constable Morgan, who not only represents the Wikwemikong Tribal Police Service with distinction, but also stands as the sole Indigenous police service constable in this year’s run. Her participation is a powerful symbol of resilience, representation, and dedication to community and country.”
The run not only commemorates fallen officers but also provides a space for reflection and solidarity among participants and families. Members of Survivors of Law Enforcement (SOLE) will join the runners, honouring their loved ones and sharing in the journey of remembrance.
As the NPOMR passes through cities and towns along its route, communities are encouraged to come out and cheer on the runners and SOLE members. Their support is a vital part of the experience, reinforcing the unity and appreciation that this event represents.
