The Special Olympics Program was established to help children and adults with mental retardation through year-round sports training and athletic competition. Most area police departments will be participating by running a leg of the course through their city.
The PRPD team will be running East ON Dempster STARTING AT Northwest Highway and running to Milwaukee Avenue, approximately 2 miles at approximately 10:00 a.m.
