Get Ready for the First Annual Officer Stephen Arkell Community 5K

April 5 walk will raise money for the memorial scholarship fund.

On April 4, the community will be holding the first annual 5k run/walk to raise money for the Officer Stephen Arkell Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The race will start at noon at the Brentwood Recreation Center on Route 125.

The race is being established to remember and honor Stephen’s bravery and dedication and all police and first responders. Our long term goal is to host an annual run in Brentwood to honor and remember the selfless sacrifice of Officer Arkell.
