Join us in Hays for the 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR), where law enforcement officers, athletes, and community members come together to carry the Flame of Hope in support of Special Olympics Kansas.

The Torch Run is a powerful symbol of inclusion and unity, as participants run alongside Special Olympics athletes to raise awareness and support for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Beginning at 105 West 12th Street and finishing at 4th and Main, this community-focused event highlights the strong partnership between law enforcement and Special Olympics.

Spectators are encouraged to line the route, cheer on participants, and show their support for the athletes who inspire us all.

Come be part of a meaningful tradition that celebrates courage, community, and inclusion.
