Every year on the Friday of Summer Games weekend, police academy recruits as well as full-time officers run the 3 miles from Boston College to Boston University holding the Flame of Hope. The run enters into the Opening Ceremonies and officially opens the games for the weekend by lighting the cauldron. Runners are escorted by Boston College and Boston University Police motor vehicles. This event is an awareness raising run to spread hope and awareness of the Special Olympics MA movement. Photos from the event are linked below.
