Be a hero and join our Law Enforcement community to escort the Special Olympics torch, the “Flame of Hope,” on its journey to the 2024 Special Olympics Northern California Summer Games in Santa Clara in June. Hundreds of law enforcement personnel and their agencies from around Northern California will proudly relay the "Flame of Hope" through their communities in honor of their commitment and dedication to the Special Olympics athletes whose lives are enriched by our program. Not only will you be raising funds for Special Olympics, but you will also be promoting a positive impact for your agency in the community you serve.  

The run itself takes place between June 17 and June 28 and the torch will light the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony of Summer Games.  Register by May 27th, to take advantage of the discounted registration fee of $40.  On May 28th, the registration fee is $45.  Your registration includes a commemorative dri-fit Torch Run t-shirt to wear with pride during your run.  Participants are encouraged to register by May 28 in order to guarantee arrival of your runner shirts for your run.  

We encourage all personnel to go the extra mile and raise additional funds for our athletes.  We have incentives gifts you can earn, so the more you raise, the more we want to thank you.
