The 805 Hero Walk is the only memorial walk dedicated to honoring the memory of fallen first responders from Ventura County. Join us on Saturday, May 16th for a 3-mile walk that will begin and end at Harbor View Park in the Channel Islands Harbor which is located at 4000 S. Harbor Blvd in Oxnard, California. Join families from every corner of our community walking together to honor the sacrifice of our first responders who have died in the line of duty and those who died by suicide. This is event is for all fitness levels, and we encourage you to bring the kids and your dog if they are social. The walk will take about an hour at a leisurely pace so you can enjoy the Channel Islands Harbor views. This event was created a former first responder and military veteran as a way to honor fallen first responders and their families because "A Hero Remembered Never Dies". This year's event is $20 for an individual and $35 for a family for anyone walking in our event. What to expect: This is a fun walk that will be casual for all fitness levels. We will begin with some brief instructions about the route and why we are walking. We will then leave together and walk for about 3-miles which will take about 60-80 minutes to complete along the beautiful Channel Islands Harbor and surrounding area. There will be bathrooms available near the starting point and along the route. This is a fun easy walk and we hope for a beautiful sunny morning in Oxnard. Event hats and t-shirts will be available for purchase the morning of the event. Who will be walking: This event is open to the public and it will be attended by police officers, deputy sheriffs, firefighters, paramedics, veterans, surviving family members and members of our community. In previous years events we have been blessed with the presence of surviving family members of first responders who were killed in the line of duty as well as those who died by suicide. We hope that you will come come out and join us to celebrate our local heroes. This is the only event of its kind in Ventura County and we hope that you will come out and walk with us and bring your family and friends. Fees and donations help to cover the cost of the permits, insurance and the storyboards that will be displayed. We will have bottled water available for all walkers.
