The Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest public awareness vehicle and grass-roots fundraiser for Special Olympics.
This year the Huron run started at the Maitland River Community Church located on Josephine Street in Wingham. The run headed through Wingham, ending at the south end of town. Participants were then transported to Blyth, Clinton, and Goderich.
After completing the final leg in Goderich participants and supporters met at McGee Motors located on Suncoast Drive East in Goderich for a celebration BBQ. A BBQ fundraiser was also held at Corrie's Foodland in Clinton on Friday, June 27.
