FORT MYERS, Fla. - There's going to be a big police chase in Fort Myers this month.

Police are holding a 5K run to raise money for a Fallen Officers Memorial, and in this case, running from the cops is not such a bad thing!

A rivalry is brewing at the Fort Myers Police Department -- who can win a 5K run and the coveted prize?

"Every officer or civilian staff member who competes and wins, will park in my spots for a week, and I'll take their spot, wherever they park," Fort Myers Interim Police Chief Doug Baker says. Baker has two parking spots right by the front door -- one as chief and one as Major of Operations.

The challenge is good news for Officer Ramy Moussa.

"Right now I have to go through the gate, park between two close cars, under a tree. Keeping a new car clean is hard!" Officer Moussa says. "This will be a nice change for a while."

Officers say they'll do whatever it takes to win.

"A lot of it is downhill. Maybe I'll just tuck and roll on the downhill portions of it -- it might give me a little bit of an advantage," Lt. Dennis Eads ponders.

But it won't be easy. Chief Baker pounds the pavement almost everyday on his lunch break, racking up an average of 50 miles a month! "I have a lot of younger guys! They're gunnin' for me! I have to!" Chief Baker says.

Police need your help too. They still need about $100,000 to make a permanent memorial for five officers lost in the line of duty -- like Andrew Widman just this year.

Police say Officer Widman saved a life at the same time that he lost his own in Downtown Fort Myers. They hope the plaque now hanging where he died will stay there forever, and also say that four other brothers of the badge deserve the same recognition.

"Seeing it will mean a lot; just going in everyday thinking about how they sacrificed their lives brings it home because it could be me or any of us," Officer Moussa says.

"It'll be a sense of history," Lt. Eads says. "I worked with a couple of the officers that will be on the memorial, so it'll basically be a piece of me."

Cops and Joggers is October 25th at 7:30 a.m. in Centennial Park. So far only 33 people have registered for the race. It costs $20 to sign up before the 22nd. The day of the race costs $30. For more information, visit: http://www.fmpolice.com/home.aspx
