Special Olympics of NH
&
Law Enforcement Torch Run

 

The Mission Statement of The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) is to provide year round fundraising and public awareness events in support of Special Olympics New Hampshire.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is one of the largest Special Olympics fundraising events in NH. Every branch of state, municipal, county and federal law enforcement has participated in the Torch Run. The Law Enforcement community has raised more than one million dollars in the history of the Torch Run.

In a series of 18 “legs” members of the law enforcement community run relays that cover more than 850 miles of NH roads. The runners carry the Special Olympics “Flame of Hope” to the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Games at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in Durham the first weekend in June.

To learn more about the LETR, and other fundraising events like the Penguin Plunge, go to the NH Special Olympics website

Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) 

What              The LETR is one of the largest Special Olympics fundraising events in NH.  The Torch Run consists of 18 legs and covers about 850 miles throughout the state.  Law Enforcement are asked to collect donations for the Torch run at Summer Games, SONH’s most attended competitive statewide events.  Other events that are part of the LETR include the Winter LETRR, Harley-Davidson Raffle, To Serve & Protect – Fueling Dreams promotion, Fall Games Torch Run, Chiefs Golf Tournament and the Pick Two out of Three Raffle.  As a result of all these events, the Law Enforcement community has raised nearly $2,000,000.00 in the 24 year history of the Torch Run. 

Who Participates

                        Every branch of state, municipal, county and federal law enforcement and friends of law enforcement

Where            Statewide

Why                The funds raised by the Torch Run allow new athletes and Local Programs to participate without the fees for housing and assessments.  Funds are raised by law enforcement who collect donations for participation in the Torch Run, raffle ticket sales, the To Serve & Protect – Fueling Dreams promotion and much more!

The Mission of Special Olympics New Hampshire is to provide year-round participation in sports training and athletic competition for individuals with intellectual disabilities by providing athletes with continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, express courage, experience joy and participate in the  sharing of talents, skills and friendship with their families, friends, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
