Cardio for Cosmo Memorial 5K/1Mile

Put on your running shoes and join the Burlington Township Police FOP Lodge #84 in a 5k run, the third annual ‘Cardio for Cosmo’ Memorial 5k run honoring fallen Detective Steven T. Cosmo #3099.  Detective Cosmo impacted the lives of so many people and it is our job to now honor and remember him for the loving, caring, dedicated man that he was. 

This event is a memorial 5k run with the intention of memorializing Detective Cosmo and giving back to programs that help provide suicide prevention assistance to our country’s law enforcement and military personnel as well as giving students with an interest in law enforcement, military or mental health professions scholarships to make those dreams happen. 

Your participation will benefit Reps for Responders, a nonprofit organization aiming to improve the physical and emotional survivability skills of first responders so that they can make responsible decisions both on the job and in their personal lives. In addition, your participation will give back to **. Scholarships are also given each year to students from the Burlington Township High School with the intention of working in Law Enforcement, the Mental Health field or going into the Military after graduation. 

Additional contributions can be made at the "Donate" tab.

This run offers a hilly and fast 5K run and flat 1 mile walk course, beginning and ending at the Burlington Township Municipal Building, 851 Old York Rd. The 5k run event includes Run Chip timing, HD finish line video and text message results within seconds of the conclusion of the run. The 1-mile walk is an untimed event.
