About the Flame of Hope 

At our statewide tournaments we continue to carry the Flame of Hope and light the cauldron at these events to signify the events taking place. As a participant in the Flame of Hope Community Runs whether it be in person or virtually you are Guardians of the Flame for the athletes who compete year round for Special Olympics Michigan. When carrying the torch in your local community or virtually you provide hope, courage and inspiration to those with intellectual disabilities. You can run/jog/big/walk/bring along fido to any of our Flame of Hope events (listed in the blue section below) or you  can register virtually! 


Find When Central Route will be near you for a chance to run a 5 mile leg!
