CREST HAVEN — Dozens of officers from municipal and county law enforcement agencies in Cape May County ran a 25-mile relay run June 6 as part of a challenge to raise funds for the Special Olympics organization.
The Cape May County Law Enforcement Torch Run started at 8 a.m. June 6 at the Cape May Lighthouse in Cape May Point State Park. The run wound along county roads from Cape May Point, to Cape May, through the Wildwoods to Seven-Mile Island, and onto the mainland, ending at about 12:15 at the Cape May County Police Academy on Crest Haven Road.
The first New Jersey Torch Run was held in 1984 conceived to raise funds for Special Olympics. The course ran from Liberty State Park in Jersey City to Rutgers Stadium in New Brunswick. In this first run, officers from various police departments ran through eight towns covering 43 miles and raising $7,000.
The event has grown exponentially since then. Last year, it earned the top grossing fundraising program of its kind, raising over $2 million.
