The Special Olympics World Winter Games are being held in Schladming and Graz, Austria in late March 2017.
Law Enforcement Torch Run will conduct an event known as the ‘Final Leg’ where a team of 130 police officers and Special Olympics athletes will carry the ‘Flame of Hope’ through 49 cities, towns and villages across Austria before arriving at the Games Opening Ceremony on Saturday 18 March.
On Sunday 19 March 2017, the Final Leg team will gather at the Sporthotel Royer, Schladming (where the temperature is expected to be below 0 Degrees Celsius) and plunge into an outdoor pool filled especially for the event. The Schladming Splash is a global fundraising event in support of the Special Olympics movement, which works to providing sporting opportunities to people with an intellectual disability.
