The money will go to the Christopher Goodell Scholarship Fund and Special Olympics New Jersey in the name of Midland Park Officer Chris Birch.
Waldwick Officer Goodell was working a radar detail in his unmarked cruiser, parked on the shoulder of southbound Route 17, when it was struck by an 18-wheeler the morning of July 17, 2014.
Birch was killed this past July Fouth weekend when a four-wheeled ATV he was driving crashed near a friend's Pennsylvania vacation home.
Ward ran the New York Marathon last year to raise funds for the Bone Marrow Registry.
"This time, I want to raise funds for two causes closer to home," he said.
"Like many others in Bergen County and beyond, I was moved by the outpouring of support for the families, fellow officers, and respective communities of [Goodell and Birch]," Ward wrote on a GoFundMe page.
The race is Dec. 13.
