Most people when setting out for a long-distance run opt for attire that gives them an aerodynamic advantage, but three local law enforcement members are not most people. Turlock Police Sgt. Neil Cervenka, Modesto Police Detective Sean Dodge, and Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Capt. Jim Gordon are preparing to run in the Peace Officer Memorial half marathon run in Modesto on Sept. 25 and they will be doing it in full duty uniform – from boots to vest. “All total, my gear is about 25 pounds and it is not evenly distributed,” Cervenka said.
