Thousands turned out in Brentwood Saturday for the premiere Stephen Arkell Memorial Race, created by Officer Josh Turner, community leader Curtis Grace, and the Brentwood Police Benevolent Association to honor the police officer killed in the line of duty last May.  
 
Net proceeds from this event, after expenses and designated contributions to a police fund and family fund, are creating a new scholarship fund of the Portsmouth Rotary Club.   Event organizers, still totaling the results, have estimated the first-year net will exceed $50,000.
The fund will provide scholarships in memory of the slain offcer, who died in the line of duty last year, at Exeter High School, where he was a strong supporter and alumnus.
