The Special Olympic Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) was recently held in Eagle Pass, Texas. Various local law enforcement agencies participated in the event, which featured a 5-mile, 3-mile, and 2-mile distance trail. The mission of LETR for Special Olympics is to increase awareness and raise funds for the Special Olympics movement. The Torch Run is more than just a race; it represents a unified effort from all law enforcement agencies to come together and support the Special Olympics games in South Texas. This year’s event began with a 5-mile run and concluded with a special 3-lap run during the opening ceremony of the Eagle Pass Independent School District Special Olympic Games. As always, our facility was one of the largest agencies participating, with our team consisting of the facility's Correctional Emergency Response Team, administration, and transport staff. Following the run, the games commenced, and LETR participants had the opportunity to volunteer and cheer on the athletes as they competed. This was our third consecutive year participating in the Torch Run, and our team took pride in representing our facility. We look forward to next year’s event.
