The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest awareness and fundraising event amongst Special Olympics Florida and law enforcement agencies. Statewide, the participating chiefs, officers, sheriffs, deputies, agents and cadets from virtually every branch of federal, state, county and municipal law enforcement, represent a total of over 300 different agencies that serve as “Guardians of the Flame.”The Torch Run began its existence as the S.O.M.E. (Special Olympics Mileage Event) Run, when a handful of officers ran the “Flame of Hope” throughout the state in an exhausting, non-stop run. Soon, law enforcement agencies throughout Florida became involved and the S.O.M.E. Run would go on to become the “Florida Law Enforcement Torch Run.”
Publix Super Markets serves as the Premier Sponsor of the Florida Law Enforcement Torch Run. To learn more about Special Olympics Florida and the Torch Run, visit www.specialolympicsflorida.org
