Law Enforcement Torch Run
Get ready to witness a powerful display of unity and heart! We invite you to line the streets and raise your voices as we cheer on a truly special procession.
In a tradition built on grit and grace, our local law enforcement officers will run side-by-side with the incredible athletes of Special Olympics Missouri (SOMO). Together, they are the guardians of the “Flame of Hope,” escorting it on its final leg toward the Opening Ceremonies of the SOMO Summer Games.
