It is time for the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, and the Police Department would love to have the public cheer on the runners! The Torch that symbolizes the beginning of the Special Olympics Games in Richmond, Va., is lit in Arlington and is carried by police officers and Special Olympians to Richmond on June 7, 2024.

This year, runners and supporters will gather at the Charlie T. Deane Central District Station, 5036 Davis Ford Rd., Woodbridge (22192) on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.

The runners will be transported at 9 a.m. from the Police Association Hall, 14288 Independent Hill Dr., Manassas (20112) to the Central District Station.
