The Monroe Common Council on Feb. 2 approved a special-event permit allowing Terry Richardson to host "Holly's Heart and Soul Run" on July 25, 2026, at Northeast Park and along a police‑approved route. The permit describes the special-event area as the area within 100 feet of the run route while the event is in progress and requires a certificate of insurance indemnifying the city of Monroe.
A council member raised questions about the city’s cost for police coverage, saying the event’s attendance appears low and the city may be spending more on police traffic control than the fundraiser is likely to raise. Staff answered that police coverage for the event is "about $1,500." The same council member suggested reviewing route options for this and similar runs to reduce street closures and associated staffing costs.
Council members noted the event map was updated to show distinctions between 10K and 5K routes. After brief discussion, the council voted and approved the permit unanimously.
