Speed for Need is off and running in Columbia. Now we are called to step up and push Ashley at the Special Olympics Torch Run – http://so-sc.org/programs/torch-run/, launching from The SC State House (Sumter Street Side).

This run helps support the roughly 29,614 Special Olympics Athletes in South Carolina.  The run begins at the State House and concludes at Fort Jackson for a Cauldron Lighting ceremony to kick off the beginning of the Special Olympics State Summer Games.  The run is a group style run at a controlled pace.  There are two breaks along the way and the total distance is 7.2 miles.  Last year Law Enforcement officers around the state helped to raise over one million dollars to support Special Olympics in South Carolina.  This is a free run without a registration, but you are encouraged to purchase a Special Olympics Torch Run T-shirt for $20 to help support the cause.

The MISSION of Speed for Need is to raise awareness and foster inclusion of those with a special need through participation in fitness events supported by the men of F3 Nation.

Track Commanders lead the way in every Speed for Need event. The synergy created between the Track Commanders, drivers, runners, and spectators helps:

• raise awareness for social causes
• encourage inclusion
• connect Track Commanders with F3 Nation and the overall fitness community

The Track Commanders motivate us and others to step up, engage, and be servant leaders. So the question stands…
