2026 LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS

The Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Connecticut will take place from Wednesday, June 3 through Friday, June 5, 2026. This inspiring event aims to raise awareness for Special Olympics, support its year-round sports and health programs, and promote inclusion for individuals of all abilities throughout our communities.

More than 1,500 active and retired law enforcement officers are expected to participate, representing over 90 municipal departments, 18 Department of Correction facilities, the Connecticut State Police, and college campus public safety agencies across the state.

On Thursday, June 4, 2026, Canton Police Department officers, joined by friends, family members, and Special Olympics athletes, will participate in Leg 5 of the run. Our team will begin at approximately 1:30 PM from the Farmington River Tubing pick-up area (located across from Bristol’s Farm) and continue east along Albany Turnpike, concluding at the Dunkin’ Donuts in Simsbury.

Motorists should anticipate delays along Albany Turnpike during this time and are encouraged to use caution while traveling through the area.

We hope you’ll join us in supporting this meaningful cause and cheering on our runners!
