Law Enforcement Torch Run Events

In 2025 we are hosting numerous Torch Runs to coincide with local area, state, winter and summer games. We will be working to cover several counties across the state of Tennessee.

We will post information on each leg of the 2025 Statewide Torch run on this page as information becomes available so be sure to visit often.

All participants are asked to wear the official 2025 Statewide Torch Run shirt (you will reserve your size with your registration).

Participants that raise $100 will also receive a commemorative Challenge Coin.

Departments that raise the most money this year will be recognized on the 2025 Statewide Torch Run shirts.

The mission of the Law Enforcement Torch Run is to raise awareness as well as funds for Special Olympics.

So together let us carry the torch keeping the Flame of Hope alive for our 18,000 Tennessee athletes and start racking up those meaningful miles!
