Law Enforcement Torch Run

The lit torch symbolizes Law Enforcement as the Guardians of the Flame of Hope for Special Olympics athletes.

Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) currently consists of 17-20 fundraising runs leading up to the Special Olympics Colorado Summer Games. Each run is staged by agencies throughout Colorado. The torch run is the foundation of law enforcement fundraising initiatives that Special Olympics Colorado embraces to raise needed funds and awareness for over 30,000 Special Olympics Colorado athletes.

What does LETR mean to Special Olympics athletes? Athletes say that officers are their heroes, their friends. The officers respect and include them.

“Partnering with Special Olympics Colorado is an important part of the Castle Rock Police Department’s community outreach efforts and is consistent with our department’s vision of One-By-One Policing. Working with Special Olympics Colorado makes us better people and better police officers, which helps us thrive as individuals and as an organization. Special Olympics athletes teach us about demonstrating empathy and compassion and how important it is to care for each other.”
