The July 4 event honors fallen Soldier and RCSD Deputy Ryan Rawl
Registration is open for the 13th-annual RYAN RAWL MEMORIAL WORKOUT to be held Friday, July 4, at the S.C. State House in Columbia. Hosted and facilitated by Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott and the Richland County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD), the Independence Day event begins at 8:00 a.m. sharp and – as in previous years – will feature station-to-station running and exercises based on the Crossfit model and various military-law-enforcement physical fitness regimens.
“We’re doing this on the morning of Independence Day as we have for the past 12 years as a way to honor and remember our own [RCSD] Deputy and S.C. Army National Guard officer Ryan Rawl,” says Sheriff Lott. “Because of the time of day, 8:00 a.m., it really serves as a special kickoff to all Independence Day celebrations here in the Midlands, and through this, Ryan and his family will never be forgotten; not as long as I’m the sheriff.”…
