CPD Run Club

This evening’s The 3 was run in honor of Columbus Police Officer Daniel Redding, whose End of Watch was July 27, 1965.

Officer Redding succumbed to an infection that developed after he injured his leg while pursuing a burglary suspect four years earlier. During the pursuit, he cut his leg on a fence and required medical treatment. Despite undergoing 27 surgeries on his leg, Officer Redding ultimately succumbed to the resulting infections.

Officer Redding served with the Columbus Division of Police for 10 years. He is survived by his wife and nine children.

Tonight, we ran in his memory and honored his service and sacrifice.

We will never forget. 🖤💙

While an angry Lake Erie forced the swim to be cancelled, these two members still gave maximum effort on the bike and run. They both shared that they felt stronger on the run and credited our club’s group runs for helping build the strength and confidence to keep moving.

This morning, The 3 was run in honor of Columbus Division of Police Officer Keith Lee Evans, whose End Of Watch was July 9th, 1995.

Officer Evans died from injuries he sustained on July 3 while directing traffic for Fourth of July celebrations on West Broad Street, west of I-70.

After Officer Evans stopped a drunk driver at an intersection, the driver became irate and attempted to drive through. Officer Evans reached into the vehicle in an effort to turn off the ignition, but the driver accelerated, dragging him several feet. Officer Evans fell from the vehicle and suffered a fatal head injury.

The 41-year-old driver was arrested a short time later and was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

Officer Evans was a United States Navy veteran who served with the Columbus Division of Police for 25 years. He was less than a year away from retirement and was survived by his wife and two children.

We honor the service and sacrifice of Officer Evans. His dedication and legacy will be remembered.

🇺🇸 Every mile tells a story. Every step honors a hero.
