The OTOA 5K is designed to promote professionalism in policing through physical preparedness, strengthen community partnerships, and enhance engagement with OTOA conference vendors—all while supporting an incredible cause.

Why It Matters The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest global grassroots fundraiser for Special Olympics. In Ohio, LETR raises critical funds that support year‑round sports training, competitions, health programs, and leadership opportunities for more than 20,000 Special Olympics Ohio athletes.
