Hello Team,

As we prepare for the 2025 Law Enforcement Torch Run benefiting Special Olympics Northern California, we do so with pride, excitement, and a shared sense of purpose. This event is more than just a run—it’s a powerful reflection of our commitment to service and our support for an incredible community of athletes who inspire us all with their courage, resilience, and determination.

The Torch Run symbolizes the deep connection between law enforcement and the communities we serve. Every step we take helps shine a light on the dreams and goals of Special Olympics athletes. Let’s carry the torch with pride, knowing that together, we’re making a meaningful impact.

Here’s to making every mile count for something truly special.

With appreciation,

California Highway Patrol, Merced Area Office
