Sgt Chris Hampton Memorial 5k

The Chris Hampton Memorial 5K is an annual event organized by the Dearborn Police Officer’s Charity in memory of Sgt. Christopher Hampton. The event aims to raise awareness about mental health issues, particularly among first responders, and helps to destigmatize mental illness. It gathers support from the community, promotes mental health advocacy, and includes themed activities that celebrate Sgt. Hampton's love for ‘80s movies. Partnering with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the event supports local organizations like The Barb Smith Suicide Resource & Response Network. Participants include allies, advocates, and anyone keen to raise awareness or enjoy a run in a park setting.
