The Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) will be making a return to Huron County on Wednesday, June 3rd.
Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) & Special Olympics Ontario invite you to participate by running alongside or simply pulling up a lawn chair and cheering on the participants as they pass-by.
Special Olympians, police officers, family members, friends, and community supporters from all over Huron County will run, walk, scooter, and stroll together on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026, to increase awareness and raise funds for Special Olympics.
The Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest public awareness vehicle and grass-roots fundraiser for Special Olympics. Did you know, the LETR has raised more than $80 million in Canada since its inception.
“The Law Enforcement Torch Run is a highlight on my calendar, and I encourage you to join us to cheer on and celebrate these courageous and dedicated athletes. Whether it’s a honk of the horn, a high-five, some cheering from the sidelines or a donation to support the cause, it really is appreciated,” says Huron County OPP Sergeant & Torch Run Coordinator Russ NESBITT
The Huron County Torch Run will start at 9:00 a.m. at the Maitland River Community Church located on Josephine Street in Wingham and ending at the south end of town. Participants will then be transported to Blyth, Clinton, and Goderich where they will bring their excitement and joy to each of those communities. After completing the final leg in Goderich, participants and supporters will meet back at McGee Motors located on Suncoast Drive East in Goderich for a celebration BBQ.
Any person or business that is looking to donate to this wonderful cause may donate on the day of the event by cash or cheques made payable to “Ontario Special Olympics”.
Bus transportation will be provided free of charge from Goderich to Wingham. Please arrive at the Goderich Legion located on Kingston Street prior to the 8:00 a.m. departure time.
