MPO PETER J. LAVERY MEMORIAL RUN
THE 14TH ANNUAL PETER J. LAVERY MEMORIAL RIDE IS SUNDAY, SEPT. 16,
2018
The 14th Annual MPO Peter Lavery Memorial Ride is being held on
Sunday, Sept. 16th, 2018 at Churchill Park, Newington. This ride is
in memory of MPO Peter J. Lavery who was killed in the line of duty
on Dec. 30, 2004 while responding to a domestic violence call. It is
an event that honors the sacrifice he made, celebrates his life and
love of motorcycling and keeps his memory alive.
MPO Lavery was an avid motorcycle rider throughout his adult life
and was proud to be selected to serve on Newington Police
Department’s motorcycle unit.
Registration takes place from 8:00 – 9:45 with a $20 donation per
bike requested. All law enforcement supporters on all makes of
motorcycles are welcome. The ride departs at around 10:00 a.m. from
Churchill Park and is escorted by many motor officers from
throughout our state. The ride is held rain or shine. The route
takes the riders from Churchill Park, Newington, through Berlin,
Rocky Hill, Cromwell, Middletown, Portland, Glastonbury and
Wethersfield before returning to Churchill Park at about 11:30.
14th Annual Peter Lavery Memorial Ride t-shirts will be sold in
advance of the ride and limited supplies will be available at the
ride. CT Police Supply on Fenn Rd. in Newington and Gengras
Harley-Davidson on Governor St. in East Hartford are now selling our

All proceeds benefit the Peter J. Lavery Memorial Scholarship Fund,
Inc. For additional information please like us on facebook @ MPO
