It’s Monday, October 7. I’m Lucas Dixon and here’s your local news from the Modesto Bee. Those who ran the half marathon or the 5K at the Peace Officer Memorial Run in downtown Modesto yesterday morning, all brought their own reasons to the starting line. For some, it’s simply a passion for fitness and running. For many, it was to honor fallen officers and, because the event benefits the Peace Officer Memorial Group, which aids the families that survive them.
