Woodstock Special Olympians will be out in full force this weekend. Their 14th annual torch run goes Saturday morning, starting at 11:15 a.m. The route will travel east on Dundas from Woodstock Police Headquarters, then turning south on Wilson St. Those walking the route will join the convoy from the Heart FM parking lot on Norwich Ave., continuing south and finishing for a pizza party at Boston Pizza. Special Olympics Coach Gary Farrington says its a day the athletes look forward to. "They've been gathering pledges for the last few weeks, and the runners have been training and the walkers are all pumped up and ready to go." They'll have a police escort on their torch run, and police are also involved in the raising of pledges. Farrington says the funds raised supports local programs. "All the money that the athletes raise stays here in Woodstock to help our sports programs, which includes softball, soccer, basketball, 5 and 10-pin bowling, skating, swimming, power lifting and curling." Money raised by police goes to the provincial organization supporting Special Olympics, but the money comes back to help local athletes with travel and lodging when they compete at a provincial or national event. You can drop off donations to support their sports programs at any point of the event. Special Olympics is also seeking volunteers to help run their sports programs. If you're interested, call 519-539-5805.
