A 5k run and mile walk will be held next month in memory of a Metro Police officer who died earlier this year.

BodyScan Imaging Center is hosting the June 15 run in memory of Officer Gary Zicker, an avid runner who completed dozens of marathons and ultramarathons, who died Feb. 5 of a heart attack.

The proceeds from the run will go to the Injured Police Officer's Fund, which was started in 1982 when Metro motorcycle Officer James Maclaren was shot and seriously wounded during a traffic stop.

For more information on entry forms for the run call Lt. Wayne Petersen at 229-3315, the race director Kisane Shimkus at 480-7946 or the IPOF at 461-4860.
