What
is a Torch Run?
The VA Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics
Virginia is a state wide event with activities throughout
the year. These activities range from T-Shirt and Hat Sales
to Golf Tournaments to Plane Pulls to Inline Skating events,
Polar Plunges, Volleyball Tournaments and more. The Torch
Run itself is held in the beginning of June every year as
over 3500 Virginia Law Enforcement Officials carry the Torch
with the Flame of Hope over 1900 miles.
The Torch arrives in Richmond Virginia during the middle part
of June and is taken to the opening ceremonies of the Virginia
State Summer Games at The University of Richmond.
Special Olympics Virginia (SOVA) serves over 12,500 athletes
through a network of volunteers of almost 20,000. Thanks to
the great support of Virginia law enforcement, our athletes
can compete state wide and nationally in World and Winter
games.
