Coquitlam and Port Moody police officers will join an estimated 600 law enforcement officers from around the province Thursday who are participating in the 2011 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics BC.
The event will see officers in more than 20 B.C. cities and communities running 3 to 5 km through their streets from June 7 to 10 to show support for B.C.'s Special Olympics athletes and to raise money to keep Special Olympic programs running in the province.
The local run begins tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:15 a.m. at Port Moody's Rocky Point Park and finishes at 11:30 a.m. at the Coquitlam RCMP detachment at 2986 Guildford Way, Coquitlam.
After the run, participants will be greeted by local politicians and free festivities are planned that will include Special Olympics BC athletes.
