Honor Our Fallen and Remember the Families 5K Memorial Run & Walk

Each year before the race begins, the families of our fallen deputies gather at the start line — a powerful tradition that reminds us why we run, who we honor, and the families we will always stand beside.

The Honor Our Fallen and Remember the Families 5K Memorial Run & Walk is an annual event that brings our community together to honor the lives and legacies of San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Each year, runners, walkers, deputies, and families gather not only to remember those we have lost, but also to stand beside the families they left behind. Hosted in partnership with SEBA, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, and the Sheriff’s Athletic Federation, the event reflects a shared commitment to remembrance, support, and community.

Sponsored by SEBA’s Peace Officer Relief Fund (PORF), all funds raised benefit the SEBA Charity Fund, helping support programs that give back to our law enforcement families and the community they serve.

Honoring Our Fallen Officers

In September 2023, Deputy John Korzonek, who also serves as the Honor Guard Coordinator, and SEBA Media Production Manager Chris Lee embarked on a heartfelt journey across San Bernardino County to document all known memorials dedicated to our fallen officers. Their mission was to ensure that every tribute, no matter how small or grand, is recognized and remembered.

Throughout their travels, they discovered a wide variety of memorials, each a testament to the enduring legacy of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. From highway and street signs to a statue, a bench, and even a cross by the roadside, these memorials are scattered across the county, serving as constant reminders of the bravery and dedication of our officers.

Below, you'll find an interactive map pinpointing the exact coordinates of each memorial they documented. This map is a living tribute to our fallen heroes, allowing anyone to visit these sites and pay their respects.

If you know of any other memorials dedicated to our officers that may not be included on this map, we encourage you to reach out to Chris Lee. Your help ensures that every officer's sacrifice is honored and that their memory continues to inspire us all.
