Fall Festival Torch Run

DPS participated in the 2025 Law Enforcement Unified Fall Festival Torch Run, in support of the Special Olympics PA on Friday, November 7th.

Members of the UPPD run club pose with command staff in front of DPS headquarters before the torch run.

The Fall Festival Torch Run supports the Special Olympics of PA.

The mission of Special Olympics Pennsylvania is to provide year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community.

The Fall Festival Torch Run also serves as a run in memory of fallen officers from across the state and officially ends when the Flame of Hope lit the cauldron during Opening Ceremonies at Villanova.

Thank you to our runners for your support!
