Torch Run for Special Olympics

The Albany Police Department will be participating in the Northern California Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. The mission of the Law Enforcement Torch Run is to support Special Olympics Programs through fundraising and public awareness, while enhancing the quality of life for the athletes.

The Torch run is scheduled to pass through Albany on June 21 at approximately 11:00am. Berkeley Police will hand off the torch to Albany Police on San Pablo Ave. near the Berkeley city limit. Albany Police will run north on San Pablo Ave. and hand off the torch to El Cerrito Police near the El Cerrito city limit.

Over 3,500 law enforcement personnel from Federal, Military, State, County and Local agencies participate in the Torch Run campaign. It is a year round fundraising campaign that culminates every year at the Special Olympics Northern California Summer Games in June.
