YULEE, Fla. — Over 100 runners had the chance to test their luck and see if they had what it takes to break out of jail during the 2nd annual “Nassau County Sheriff’s Office Jailbreak Run”.
“Showing them that it’s fun to be active. I went on a journey, lost a lot of weight and showing my kids it’s never too late in life to come out and have fun and just be yourself be expressive and just have a good time", Chris Taylor who also ran last year, said.
The "Nassau County Sheriff’s Office Jailbreak Run” is back for its second year. The 5k course takes runners over 9 obstacles including a tire run, a log jump, balance beams and more.
“I really wanted to do the obstacles, I thought they’d be really fun," Addisyn Wagner, a runner, said.
“Come have fun support the community, cause all the proceeds go back to the Nassau County Sheriff as well," Taylor said.
Over 100 people signed up for the event.
All proceeds go to Nassau County Sheriff’s Office charities, including the Shops with Cops Program.
“Our mission is nurturing community safety through outreach. One of the things we do as you mentioned is the shops with a cop program. Every Christmas time, we give 100-dollars to children that are picked by the guidance counselors of the school district, they get $50 to spend on needs, $50 to spend on wants, we have four fundraising programs that really are the heart and support that program, this jail break is one of them," Bobby Lippelman, President of NCSO Charities, said.
