The 2023 Fairfield Police Sunset 5K

Grab your running shoes and fill your water bottle – we’re running a 5K. This July, Maritime Chevrolet has teamed up with the Fairfield Police to sponsor their 2023 Fairfield Police Sunset 5K on Wednesday July 19th. Help us raise donations for both The Fairfield Police Scholarship Fund and the newly created Fairfield Police Foundation CT by enjoying a day of food trucks, craft beer, and lots of fun for a great cause!

This year, the 5K will be accepting over 1,000 runners and walkers with the ability to run a 3.1 mile scenic and flat course, or walk a separate one mile course designed for families. Starting and ending at Penfield Beach, this summer spectacular will include t-shirts, food truck rodeo, treats for the kiddos, and adult libations for those of age. The Penfield Beach area is scenic, quiet, and surrounded by a welcoming neighborhood of supporters. There will be ample parking right nearby as well as just 3/10 mile down the road at Jennings Beach. All pre-registered and paid participants in the 5K or one-mile walk will have their food ticket included. Click here to register today!

Established in 2014, The Fairfield Police Scholarship Fund has awarded over 100 scholarships to officer’s children and at all four of our high schools in town. To date, they have given away over $350,000 in scholarships to those obtaining Post-secondary education or qualified trade school. With Maritime Chevy having been a long-time supporter of this Scholarship fund, we’re excited to work with them once again to help their mission in education. 

Our newly created Fairfield Police Foundation CT, Inc. was created to help fund items and programs typically outside the normal police budget. Things such as officer wellness, employee reward and recognition programs, K9 Unit requests, Honor Guard and technologies not typically funded by the regular police budget. The foundation board is composed of Fairfield Residents and business owners who will assist in fundraising and supporting the mission of the foundation.
