Runners were inspired but somber Sunday remembering the lives of two fallen NYPD detectives, Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora.

“We always have to give thanks to the NYPD who are always putting themselves in the front line to give us our safety,” said Edward Montas, co-founder of the Dyckman Run Club.

Dyckman Run Club held a 5K run to honor the lives and service of the two detectives. Rivera and Mora were shot and killed in January responding to a domestic disturbance call in Harlem.

Rivera was a member of Dyckman Run Club. His fellow runners gave him the nickname Tata.

“He is going to live through us forever because we are going to keep his memory alive,” said Elvin Adames, another club co-founder. “I knew Tata personally. He ran with us for almost two years before the NYPD to get in shape to enter the police academy.”

Rivera was passionate about improving the relationship between the community and NYPD. On Sunday, the 5K run was intended to continue strengthening those bonds.

“This really makes me happy us happy because we are fulfilling Tata’s mission and his message was to bridge the community with NYPD,” Montas said. “Just taking this step over here is a massive step for everyone in the community and NYPD.”

Dozens of people, including Rivera’s widow Dominique Rivera, showed up to run in honor of the dedication of Rivera and Mora. A Westchester man, Patrick Scanlon, came down to run and memorialize the detectives.

“Any sport brings people together. It doesn’t matter what color. Doesn’t matter what race. It doesn’t matter what religion,” Scanlon said.

The run started at Dyckman Street and ended at the 32nd Precinct in Harlem where detectives Rivera and Mora worked together. Many members of the 32nd Precinct were on hand to show support for their fallen comrades.
