The Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Northeast Leg starts at 9:00AM Friday, June 21st, 2013 from the steps of City Hall on Priley Drive. We will start running “The “Flame of Hope” torch from there to Boy Scout Landing in Gary New Duluth. The Torch Run is an event to raise awareness for the Special Olympics and their mission to work with special needs athletes around the world.
Our run locally is held in conjunction with other runs around the state and culminates with the torch being passed to an athlete who will use it to start the official flame signifying the beginning of the Special Olympic Summer Games in Stillwater.
The Law Enforcement Torch is supported by the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, Minnesota F.O.P. and the Minnesota State Patrol Troopers Association.
Media please arrive at 8:30 am for any pre-event interviews.
If you have any questions, please contact Officer Mike Thamm at (218) 340-5659.
