The Torch Run

The Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics New Hampshire is a grassroots fundraising and public awareness movement led by law enforcement officers across the Granite State.

Each year, members of law enforcement carry the Flame of Hope across New Hampshire, helping shine a light on the abilities, achievements, and determination of Special Olympics New Hampshire athletes. What began more than four decades ago has grown into one of the most visible and meaningful traditions supporting our movement.

Through Torch Run events and initiatives, law enforcement agencies across New Hampshire raise critical funds, build community support, and help lead the way into Special Olympics New Hampshire’s State Summer Games.
