The torch run will start on 19th March in Cairns, North Queensland and travel down to the Gold Coast and Brisbane, then NSW, ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and up to South Australia for the final leg into the opening ceremony of the National Games to light the cauldron.  The torch will arrive in Gosford on 29th March and travel through Sydney CBD and Sydeny Olympic Park on 30th and 31st March.

Every torch run leg will host a formal ceremony and lighting of the cauldron where local and state government officials, sponsors, ambassadors, corporates, local sports and celebrity personalities, athletes, fans, volunteers and family will come together and celebrate Special Olympics in the local community.

You can register as an individual or as a team.  You can run a full leg of 4km, half a leg or the final 10 metres.
