Police Officers and local Special Olympics athletes are teaming up once again to complete a leg of the 2023 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics through our corner of Butler County, Ohio.

Participants take off south through Olde West Chester, then turn west on West Chester Road to the finish line at the Safety Services Center, 9577 Beckett Road.
All roads will remain open to traffic but motorists should please use caution.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is a state and national effort, first started in 1981 in Wichita, Kansas, that today spans all 50 states and 46 countries across seven continents.
A cookout lunch reception, hosted by West Chester Police and the West Chester Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (WCCPAAA), immediately follows the Torch Run on Wednesday afternoon.
Special Olympics Ohio hosts the Summer Games the weekend of June 23-25, 2023 at The Ohio State University in Columbus. Good luck, competitors!
