Culpeper Law Enforcement Torch Run Run/Walk

Join us for our 2026 Culpeper Law Enforcement Torch Run ! Every dollar goes to Special Olympics Virginia! The Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics began in 1981 in Kansas when Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw an urgent need to raise funds and increase awareness for Special Olympics. Chief LaMunyon created the Torch Run as a way to involve his officers in the community by running a torch relay for their local Special Olympics. More than 40 years later , 97,000+ law enforcement officers from around the world are involved and have raised more than $1 billion to support community-based sport programs for people with intellectual disabilities!
