On Friday, June 28, we’ll be carrying the Special Olympics Flame of Hope through our community as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run. As a result, traffic on El Camino Real may be impacted from approximately 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. as runners make their way from Henderson Ave to the Benton St.  Please drive carefully around our runners, bicyclists and volunteers, and follow instructions of police personnel.

The Torch Run culminates with the Special Olympics Northern California Summer Games.
