Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg

The Law Enforcement Torch Run® (LETR) for Special Olympics was formed in 1981 and is the Special Olympics movement's largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle in the world. In the past thirty-two years, dedicated law enforcement volunteers raised over US $450 million for Special Olympics programs around the world. Since 1987, law enforcement officers from around the world have gathered to carry the Flame of Hope™ in a Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg in conjunction with the Special Olympics World Summer and World Winter Games. During the Final Leg Torch Run, law enforcement members, together with Special Olympic athletes, run the Flame of Hope™ throughout the host country for the Games, spreading awareness for Special Olympics and creating excitement for the World Games.
