On
June 11th the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office will be hosting the
annual Maryland Law Enforcement Torch Run Event for Special Olympics. This year, the Calvert County Sheriff’s
Office will be hosting a PUBLIC run/walk 5K starting at the Calvert Marine
Museum, Solomons, Maryland! Law
Enforcement agencies, to include Calvert County Sheriff’s Deputies, Maryland
State Police Troopers, Fire Marshal’s Officers, and several others, will be
running the 5K in support of the Special Olympics. Officers come together as athletes to support
the Special Olympics and the positive impact is extremely rewarding!
Special Olympics Maryland is a
year-round sports training and competition program for children and adults with
disabilities. Special Olympics serves
10,000 athletes around the state, offering over (20) different sports.
Our goal this year is to increase
the public’s awareness and support of the Special Olympics. Please sign up for
the run/walk 5K at www.calverttorchrun.com Entrants will receive a Torch Run T-shirt
upon registering for the 5K. However, if
you would like a hat or another T-shirt to support Special Olympics, please
contact Ms. Sherry Draheim at the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office
(410-535-2800).
Several officers will be competing
to raise the most money by running in uniform and other forms of fun! Please start a team and see how much support
we can raise for Special Olympics!!!
