The Virginia Law Enforcement Torch Run is divided into 17 regions. Regions 1-13 are geographically divided; Region 14 encompasses the Virginia State Police and Regions 15-17 encompass the Virginia Department of Corrections. Each region has a region director who is responsible for all aspects of the Torch Run in their geographic region, a liaison and a Special Olympics Virginia staff member who help facilitate the Torch Run activities.
Use the map below to determine which Torch Run Region your department falls under; then see our Region Director/Liaison contact list for the appropriate contact. For additional questions, e-mail jwalker@specialolympicsva.org.

The color coded sections indicate which Special Olympics Virginia staff members help facilitate the Torch Run activities in the various regions. Note the staff assignments for Regions 14-17 can be found on our
