The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Northeast Leg starts at 8:30AM Friday, June 17th, 2011, from the steps of City Hall on Priley Drive. We will start running “The “Flame of Hope” torch from there through the City of Duluth.
In 2010, The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Minnesota involved more than 600 law enforcement officers and personnel representing more than 75 agencies throughout the state. Their tremendous efforts raised more than 1.6 million for Special Olympics Minnesota.
In 2011, participation across the state continues to increase not only in the Final Leg of the movement, but with law enforcement taking the initiative to coordinate new Special Olympic events/fundraisers such as the Polar Plunge, Truck Convoy, Final Leg, Lawmen Hockey Tournament, Tip-a-Cop, Jail ‘n Bail and Cop on Top.
The Minnesota Torch Run is supported by the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, Minnesota F.O.P. and the Minnesota State Patrol Troopers Association.
Please arrive prior to the start and help local Law Enforcement promote Special Olympics.
If you have any questions, please contact Officer Mike Thamm at (218) 340-5659.
