Florida Special Olympics Torch Run Begins In Century (With Photo Gallery)
March 11, 2025
The 2025 Law Enforcement Torch Run in support of Florida Special Olympics began in Century Monday morning before continuing to Pensacola.
The torch run started at the Florida/Alabama state line in a misty morning rain. Runners from Century Correctional Institution carried the torch from south on Highway 29 from the state line to the Century Town Hall with an escort from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

Additional legs of the run took place later in the day in southern half of the county with the ECSO and other law enforcement agencies.
Each year, over 5,000 law enforcement officers from around the state carry the flame to the Special Olympics State Summer Games. The torch will travel over 1,500 miles, through Florida’s 67 counties to the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Games with the law enforcement “Guardians of the Flame.”
