C.P.O.A 5k

The Connellsville Police Officers’ Association (C.P.O.A.) organizes an annual 5K race to support its community service initiatives, including scholarships for Connellsville Area High School seniors and various safety programs. The event replaces a previous Poker Run and features a course at the Connellsville High School. Participants under 18 require parental consent, and refreshments are provided post-race. Awards include gift cards for the top male and female finishers and medals for age category winners. The C.P.O.A. engages in community activities like child fingerprinting programs, drug awareness, and support for the elderly.
