The Law Enforcement Torch Run has two goals – to raise money and to gain awareness for the athletes who participate in Special Olympics Illinois. The Law Enforcement Torch Run includes an annual intrastate relay conducted by officers representing every branch of law enforcement within the state as well as our federal partners. Approximately 3,000 officers carry the Flame of Hope nearly 1,500 miles, running through thousands of Illinois communities via 23 different legs (routes) to its final destination – the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics Illinois Summer Games!
THE ROLLING MEADOWS 'LEG' WILL TAKE PLACE ON SUNDAY, JUNE 4 at approximately 9:00 am - on Golf Road, between Rt. 53 and Algonquin Rd. Please show your support as a spectator, a donor or join the run by contacting Officer Pak at pakg@cityrm.org
