Runners at the Atlanta’s Finest annual 5K race on Saturday raised money for the family of DeKalb County police Officer David Rose, who was killed while responding to a report of an active shooter outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week.

Nearly 1,700 people signed up to run in the race to honor Atlanta law enforcement and public safety officials, and this year the Atlanta Track Club announced all of the registration proceeds will go to the late 33-year-old DeKalb officer’s family.

“Officer Rose’s sacrifice reminds us of the courage it takes to protect and serve,” said Dave Wilkinson, president and CEO of the Atlanta Police Foundation.

Minutes before starting the race, runners took a moment of silence to honor Rose, who served four years in the Marines.
