704 Blue Run

Race Overview

In January of 2015, the Olathe Police Department’s Officer Michael Kern, radio number 704, passed away from a fatal heart attack while preparing for a Presidential escort. In his memory, the annual 704 Blue Run was born and is a tribute to his service and all Olathe Officers that have been tragically lost.

Unfortunately, 2018 saw the unexpected passing of Olathe Police Department Sgt. David Williams. He too will always be remembered for his service and forever a member of this tribute run.
