Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR)

The Mission Statement of the Law Enforcement Torch Run is to provide year-round fundraising and public awereness in support of Special Olympics Vermont.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is a series of 4 "legs" where members of the law enforcement community run relays that cover more than 400 miles of VT roads.  The runners carry the Special Olympics "Flame of Hope" to the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Games at the University of Vermont in Burlington on May 30, 2008. 

All participants are invited to attend a BBQ at the Windjammer Hotel and Conference Center at 6:00pm on May 30, 2008 before running the "Final Leg" to the University of Vermont.
