Route Overview
The Pinal County Route travels through the heart of Pinal County, honoring the communities and jurisdictions where Arizona’s fallen heroes served.
After departing the Casa Grande Police Department, riders will travel near the site where an Ak-Chin Police Officer was killed in the line of duty, pausing to reflect on the sacrifice made in service to the community.
From there, the ride continues south into rural Pinal County before stopping for a fuel and refreshment break in Eloy.
Following the break, riders will travel north into Florence, where participants will stop at the Pinal County Government Center. At this location stands a memorial monument honoring fallen law enforcement officers from across Pinal County, including federal, state, county, and municipal agencies.
This memorial serves as a powerful reminder of the many men and women who gave their lives protecting the communities of this region.
While distance, travel time, and road conditions prevent the ride from visiting every individual memorial site, the Pinal County Memorial represents the service and sacrifice of those heroes lost throughout the county’s history.
