Torch Run for Special Olympics
The Torch that symbolizes the beginning of the Special Olympics Games in Richmond, Virginia, will be lit in Arlington and carried by police officers down U.S. Route 1 to Richmond on Thursday, June 7, 2012. In Prince William County, the torch will start at the Prince William-Fairfax line at Route 1 and end at the entrance to the U.S. Marine Corps Base on Fuller Road.
The Torch should reach the Prince William County line around 2:00 p.m. As it nears the Gar-Field Station – at the intersection of Cardinal Drive and U.S. Route 1 – the torch is handed from a police officer to a Special Olympian.
The Special Olympics games officially open on Friday, June 8, at 7:00 p.m. at various locations throughout Richmond, Va. The Special Olympics is supported by law enforcement officers throughout the United States and in 45 countries.
