    Course Info

    Participants will begin the course near Pavillion B on the Yowell Meadow Park multi-use path, towards the Gardner Street side of the Park. The course will stay on the paved trail heading out of the Park on the Daughters of the Revolution Nature Trail. Participants will continue on to the connector trail heading towards Lake Pelham until the dam. At that time, participants will reverse course for a short stent until they reach the Yowell Meadow Park multi-use path once again, at which point they will turn right to complete the loop and cross the finish line.

    The course will have markers/signs so help direct participants in the correct direction.

    Join us for our 2026 Culpeper Law Enforcement Torch Run! Every dollar goes to Special Olympics Virginia!

    The Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics began in 1981 in Kansas when Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw an urgent need to raise funds and increase awareness for Special Olympics. Chief LaMunyon created the Torch Run as a way to involve his officers in the community by running a torch relay for their local Special Olympics.

    More than 40 years later, 97,000+ law enforcement officers from around the world are involved and have raised more than $1 billion to support community-based sport programs for people with intellectual disabilities!

    Since 2005 the Culpeper Triathlon has been staged out of Mountain Run Lake Park at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. After a swim in Mountain Run Lake athletes roll out of T1 for a challenging bike course with great pavement and amazing views. It’s not a PR bike course, but it is so beautiful and a place you will come back to ride! The run course has great views of Mountain Run Lake, the Blue Ridge mountains and is a rolling mix of flats and steady hills. There is so much to see and do in Culpeper, VA. Main street offers an eclectic mix of restaurants, shopping and nightlife while the surrounding area offers great hiking, biking, fishing and more.
