This week, on October 5, one of several Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch runs will take place in Orewa town centre.

Police and service personnel throughout NZ are supporting the Special Olympics by taking part in a series of 31 torch runs leading to the Special Olympics National Summer Games in Wellington in November.

A total of 1300 athletes will take part in the Games.

The torch runs, which take place from September 30–November 24, raise awareness and money for the Special Olympics.

On October 5, Special Olympics athletes from Orewa and their families, police and fire service personnel, will gather beside the Sir Edmund Hillary statue in Hillary Square, at 11am.

The group will carry the Special Olympics Flame of Hope, pictured, past Orewa New World supermarket and the library, then along Orewa Boulevard, finishing at the Orewa Police Station.
