Good crowds greet Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics through Hope

HOPE – The mid-May weather was bright, sunny and warm but it was all smiles from those participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics as it wound its way through the streets of Hope.

The torch is on its way to the state Special Olympics competition, held annually at Harding University in Searcy, which begins Thursday.

The local group that participated was composed of many area law enforcement personnel, joined by local runners and several individuals who represented Rainbow of Challenges.

The runners stopped briefly for water and pictures at ROC before making their way to Prescott where the torch was handed off on its trek to Searcy.

We at ROC wish our local Special Olympians a safe trip and much success this weekend!
