Team ACSO

It's that time of year again!

Every year, for the last 28 years, the Los Angeles Police Department has hosted a relay race called the Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay. The race began with 19 teams as a way for police officers to improve their physical fitness. Last year 260 teams entered. Of those 251, four were from outside the United States and included Australia, Germany, Royal Mounted Canadian Police, Calgary, Canada and Great Britain. This year there are more than 260 teams who will participate. The race begins in Baker California and ends in Las Vegas Nevada. Though the course is 120 miles long, each of the 20 legs is any where from 4.1-10.2 miles in length. This race has been described as “highly competitive” and promotes camaraderie, physical fitness, pride and team work. Former participants have also stated that the race is extremely fun and challenging.

The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office previously participated in the race but had been inactive for the last several years, until 2009. We participated again in 2010 and 2011 and would like continue our participation in 2012. I wanted to take a moment to invite you to participate with “Team ACSO” in the 2012 Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay race. We are seeking both runners and support staff to become involved as well as assistance with fundraising efforts and other tasks in support of our participation. Please note that for 2012, runners may be sworn staff or technicians, but support staff may be civilian staff and/or volunteers. This year the race is scheduled for the weekend of April 20-23, 2012. Though our entry fee is due December 15th 2011.

Please send an email to Teamacso@gmail.com, as soon as possible if you are interested in participating.  Please make sure that “Baker to Vegas” is in the subject line of any correspondence you send, and that you indicate whether you’d like to participate as a runner, support staff, or would simply like to assist with fundraising efforts or other tasks in support of our participation.
