KINGSVILLE, MD – An annual tradition continues this year in honor of a fallen hero.
As a police officer in the Baltimore County Police Department, Amy Caprio gave her life protecting the citizens of Perry Hall on May 21, 2018.
On June 3, 2018, there was a bike ride held at Jerusalem Mill to honor and remember her sacrifice.
On Memorial Day, May 27, 2019 (which happens to be Officer Caprio’s birthday) the second annual Amy’s Ride and Run will take place at Jerusalem Mill Village. This year, there will also be a 5K memorial run in addition to the road and mountain bike rides.
Check-in will begin at 7:30 a.m. with the road ride beginning at 8:30 a.m. The 7-mile road ride will be followed by a 7-mile mountain bike ride. The 5K will begin at 8:45 a.m.
