Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch passes through Carson City June 1
The 2018 Carl Cox Memorial Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Nevada takes place June 1 in Carson City.
Runners begin running the torch through the Nevada state capital at 11 a.m. from Bodine's Casino at Clear Creek Road and U.S. Highway 395.
The torch route follows U.S. Highway 395 and South Carson Street to William Street in downtown Carson City.
The week-long Law Enforcement Torch Run, an annual fundraiser for Special Olympics Nevada, begins in Southern Nevada and ends in Reno.
Since 1989, law enforcement officers from around Nevada have gathered to carry the Flame of Hope™ in a Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg in conjunction with the Special Olympics Nevada Summer Games.
During the Final Leg Torch Run, law enforcement and military members, together with Special Olympic athletes, run the Flame of Hope throughout the State of Nevada, spreading awareness for Special Olympics and creating excitement for the Summer Games.
The Final Leg Torch Run for the Special Olympics Nevada Summer Games will consist of 500 members that include law enforcement and military runners, Special Olympics athletes, and support personnel, who together, will serve as Guardians of the Flame as they run the Flame of Hope throughout Nevada.
The Final Leg runners come from all over the State of Nevada, representing 42 different agencies and honoring the athletes from their local programs.
