Run WITH the Law is a part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics Illinois. This community event aims to increase both funds and awareness for the more than 22,000 athletes of Special Olympics Illinois.  Join forces with your school resource officer and/or local law enforcement to raise awareness of SO ILL athletes and their accomplishments.  All participants collect donations to run with law enforcement, who will be carrying the Flame of Hope, with all proceeds directly benefiting Special Olympics Illinois.  While each RWTL event is unique, the distance of each run will be about 1 or 2 miles.  Law enforcement, carrying the torch, will lead the group. All participants will receive and run in the official “I Run WITH the Law” T-shirt.
