9AM Registration, 10AM Opening Ceremony, 10:15AM Walk will begin. This is a family friendly event! During the Olathe Farmer’s Market, we will walk for inclusion! Come walk, play cornhole, and get to know athletes in your community. Strollers and pets are welcome. Enjoy community vendors, a lively atmosphere, and family-friendly activities. Payment is not required during online registration, as we encourage fundraising instead. If you fundraise $25, you will receive the event t-shirt!
Participants of all ages and abilities are invited to walk together in support of inclusion and opportunity for individuals with intellectual disabilities. As part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR), the Torch Walk helps raise awareness and celebrate the mission of Special Olympics—promoting acceptance, unity, and the power of sport.
Whether you’re walking with a team, family, or on your own, this event is a great way to get active, connect with the community, and show your support for Special Olympics Kansas athletes.
Come be part of something meaningful and help us carry the Flame of Hope forward—one step at a time!
