Event Description

We are honored to host the inaugural Patrolman Samuel C. Irvin Legacy 5K Walk/Run at Mansfield Twp Park. The event will take place on the paved Kinkora trail that winds through woods and farm fields. This event is in memory of our 23-year-old son, Sam, who tragically passed away from sudden cardiac arrest on July 23, 2023, while working out. Following his passing, we learned that Sam had a genetic mutation known as Brugada Syndrome. Sam was a three-sport athlete in high school and played college baseball. He had recently graduated from college and the Gloucester Police Academy and was serving as a patrolman for the Mansfield Police Department at the time of his death. He is survived by his fiancé, Mackenzie, and their son, Beau Samuel. This event, with your participation and support, will not only honor Sam's legacy but also make a meaningful impact by supporting the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation and a scholarship established in Sam's name at Northern Burlington County Regional High School. Together, we can honor Sam's legacy and make a meaningful impact!
