Torch Run - Culpeper, VA

Join us for our 2nd annual Culpeper Law Enforcement Torch Run! Every dollar goes to supporting our local Special Olympics Virginia office! 

The Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics began in 1981 in Kansas when Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw an urgent need to raise funds and increase awareness for Special Olympics. Chief LaMunyon created the Torch Run as a way to involve his officers in the community by running a torch relay for their local Special Olympics.

More than 30 years later, 97,000+ law enforcement officers are involved and have raised more than $600 million to support community-based sport programs for people with intellectual disabilities!
