Description
The Flame of Hope will mark the first 50 years of Special Olympics and light the way to a bright future of a welcoming and inclusive world for all. The flame will be lit in downtown Chicago, marking the day the first Special Olympics International Games were held in 1968 at Soldier Field. A team of runners — with and without intellectual disabilities — will carry the torch along a four-mile course past Chicago’s scenic landmarks, parks and beaches along Lake Michigan. Registration for the LETR Commemorative Torch Run is open to law enforcement, Special Olympics athletes and the public. All participants will receive a Commemorative Torch Run dry-wick shirt. Participants can choose to run the entire 4-mile route or join us for the last 2 miles (approximate).
Event Cost: $75.Â
Event Times: 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
