The 1st Annual Emily's Parade was held just 10 days after the shooting at Platte Canyon High School. It was quickly determined that the proceeds from that Ride would go to benefit the six heroes who were in the classroom with Emily. There was no official count of bikes in attendance, but they numbered in the thousands. Since then The Ride is held close to the anniversary date of the shooting.
Known as both Emily's Run or Emergency Responders' 5K, this memorial 5K run and walk is open to everyone. Hosted by the Park County Sheriff's Office, many Emergency Responder teams participate, along with others, on this true cross-country run.
