Register to run in your community through this site.  Additional details on the community runs can be found on sone.org.  The cost to register is $25 and includes a 2025 LETR t-shirt.  To be guaranteed a t-shirt, you must register for a run by May 1st (one t-shirt per registrant).  T-shirt sizes are not guaranteed after the May 1st registration date.  The t-shirt is ice blue & a soft cotton fabric.  It will be delivered to the address used to register.


After registering for the Torch Run, you will receive an individual fundraising page to share with friends and family to collect additional donations to support SONE.  Your personalized fundraising page is customizable and shareable for you to send out.  We understand, though, that some may wish to show their support by only participating in their community run.  If you want to opt out of raising additional funds you can simply not share your page.   All funds raised will support the SONE sports, health, education, and leadership programs offered to children and adults with intellectual disabilities throughout the state.


If you wish to only purchase a t-shirt, that option is available through the registration link.
