For most LETR volunteer opportunities, law enforcement professionals are encouraged to wear their uniform and proudly represent their role and agency.

This is especially meaningful when presenting awards at Special Olympics competitions. Athletes work hard for their moment on the podium, and receiving recognition for their accomplishments from the law enforcement heroes they look up to in their communities makes that moment even more special.

If you’re serving as a one-day volunteer in a general volunteer role, you’re welcome to wear your uniform, but it isn’t required. Some events and volunteer roles are better suited for more casual attire.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics (LETR) is a year-round partnership between law enforcement and Special Olympics that raises funds and awareness while championing inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities.

And despite the name, LETR is about much more than running. Here in New Hampshire, law enforcement professionals get involved throughout the year by volunteering at Special Olympics competitions, presenting awards to athletes, participating in fundraising events and, of course, carrying the Flame of Hope during the annual Torch Run.

Since 1984, New Hampshire law enforcement agencies and officials have been an important part of the Special Olympics New Hampshire community, serving as supporters, volunteers, mentors and friends to athletes across the state.

Absolutely! You do not need to work in law enforcement to participate in the Torch Run. The run is open to anyone who wants to join in and support Special Olympics New Hampshire.

There is no minimum age to participate in the Torch Run. Anyone age 17 or younger must have a parent or guardian sign the required waiver form before participating.

No problem! You don’t have to complete the entire route to participate. Transportation is available along the route, allowing runners to get on and off as needed. Join for the portion that works best for you and still be part of the Torch Run!
