After a Decade of Activity, The Three Fathers Memorial Run Comes to an End
Moncton, March 21 2025 –
"The run was created just days after the events of June 4, 2014, as a way to bring the community together and help our region navigate this terrible tragedy. Grief is a process, and today, it is time to move forward." With these words, Nadine Larche, spokesperson for the board of directors of the Three Fathers Memorial Run, announced that after 10 years, the event will not return in 2025.
It is no coincidence that the event has been held on Father’s Day since 2014. In addition to commemorating the ultimate sacrifice of Constables Doug Larche, Dave Ross, and Fabrice Gevaudan, the run raised funds to provide scholarships to graduating students from the six public high schools served by the Codiac RCMP detachment.
"We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in the run, our sponsors, and the many volunteers who made this event possible over the past ten years. For the families and RCMP members, this outpouring of support and kindness has been a great source of comfort," added Ms. Larche.
Scholarship Program to Continue
The board of directors will continue to award scholarships to graduating students from the six public high schools served by the Codiac RCMP detachment. The remaining funds will continue to be distributed to Grade 12 students in the region. The Three Fathers Memorial Run is still accepting donations for the scholarship fund , and scholarships will continue to be awarded in the years ahead as long as donations allow. Those wishing to contribute can reach out for more information on how to support the ongoing legacy of this initiative.
Students interested in applying for a scholarship can inquire at their school.
"More than 160 young people in our community have already benefited from these scholarships, with over $150,000 awarded to support their post-secondary journeys. This is a great source of pride for all of us, and we will continue to support our graduates for as long as we can," concluded Nadine Larche.
