Five South Windsor police officers took part in the Special Olympics CT Law Enforcement Torch Run Thursday.
The runners - Chief of Police Matthew Reed, Lt. Tim Edwards, Sgt. Mike Dobler, Agent Ron Littell and Officer Joe Futtner - ran from the Manchester town line on Route 30 to Chapel Road, which covers about 4.5 miles.
The highlight of the run is always passing by Pleasant Valley Elementary School, where the students cheer on the runners.

"This year we are going for the triple crown," Littell said.
