Boulder police gearing up for 2011 Law Enforcement Torch Run
The Boulder Police Department’s 2011 Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics will be held on Friday, May 20, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. The event will consist of a 4-mile run/bike portion, as well as a 1-mile walk and parade. Dozens of police officers, City of Boulder employees and their families and friends are expected to participate.
The registration deadline for this event is Wednesday, May 18. This year, a youth registration was added and kids under the age of 15 can register for a reduced fee of $20, which includes a T-shirt. The regular registration fee is $30. Members of the public are invited to join officers for the Torch Run. To register online, go to www.firstgiving.com/soco.
The goal of the annual Torch Run is to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics and people with intellectual disabilities.
Walk/Parade
Participants will start at the Public Safety Building at 1805 33rd St. in Boulder, and then start walking south along 33rd Street to the north sidewalk of Arapahoe Avenue. From there, the group will walk east to the 38th Street underpass for the Boulder Creek Path. The remainder of the walk will be along the creek path to Scott Carpenter Park. Walkers can either reverse their direction along the same path or use the signal light intersection pedestrian crosswalk at 30th Street and Arapahoe Avenue to return to the Public Safety Building.
Run/Bike
The 4-mile run/bike portion will start and finish at Scott Carpenter Park. Participants will use the Boulder Creek Path, leaving from Scott Carpenter Park headed west to a turn-around point at the Library bridge. From there, the route will be back along the creek path, east to the 38th Street underpass and back to the park.
