The weather didn’t hinder the participants of the 2019 Belleville Law Enforcement Torch Run in support of Special Olympics Ontario.

In fact, participants made excellent time after leaving Quinte Mall at 9:30 a.m., arriving at Belleville City Hall in less than an hour.

Detective Constable Darrell Hatfield led the local torch run initiative and told Quinte News it’s not the first time they’ve had to run in the rain.
