PROFITS BEING DONATED TO THE RUNNING 4 HEROES NON-PROFIT.

On January 12th, 2019, then 10-year old Zechariah Cartledge set out on a mission to run 1-mile for every First Responder lost in the Line of Duty. He called his efforts “Running 4 Heroes.”  His first mile was for fallen Davis Police Department Officer Natalie Corona.In his first year of running as part of his mission, Zechariah ran a mile for every Officer lost in the Line of Duty in both 2018 and 2019. He also ran a mile for every Firefighter who was lost in the Line of Duty in 2019. Since then, Zechariah has run over 1,000 miles for fallen heroes, and his efforts led to the creation of the Running 4 Heroes 501(c)(3). Along with running a mile for every First Responder lost in the Line of Duty, Zechariah also gives out monthly $10,000 Grants to First Responders injured in the Line of Duty. Since January of 2020, he has awarded over $165,000 in funding to a combined 21 injured First Responders. The efforts of Running 4 Heroes also led to the creation of their sister pages, Running 4 Heroes – Military and Running 4 Heroes – K9s. Through these pages, Soldiers as well as K9s killed while in the line of Duty are also honored with 1-mile tribute runs.The 1,000 miles represent 1,000 heroes who gave their lives protecting and serving the communities they loved. The goal of the Running 4 Heroes mission, and the purpose behind why Zechariah runs, is to ensure these heroes will never be forgotten.

Production Policy

We know you’re excited to get your gear, and we’re just as excited to send it. For most in-stock items, we our tail off to ship the same day you order — because nobody likes waiting. That said, weekends, holidays, or an unexpected avalanche of orders (it happens!) might slow things down just a bit. If something you grabbed is out of stock or needs to be made just for you, it might take a few extra days. We’ll keep things moving and keep you in the loop.


Shipping Policy

We ship with USPS and UPS — the usual suspects. Once your package leaves our hands, it’s off on its own adventure. You’ll get a tracking number (or you can log into your account) so you can follow along like a proud parent.

Now, as much as we’d love to command the shipping universe (if we did, it would obviously be RELENTLESS), we don’t control what happens once your package is in the hands of USPS or UPS. If it gets delayed, misdelivered (especially if there was a typo in the shipping address), or vanishes into the shipping void — we feel your pain and we’ve got your back. While we can’t take official responsibility after handoff, we’ll help however we can — including pointing you in the right direction to file a claim and offering moral support while you yell at your mailbox.

Unless… you added Shielded Shipping™ at checkout for just $0.92 — then you’re in luck. If your package is confirmed lost, we’ll ship you a replacement. No hoops, no headaches. Just relentless support.
