The 14th annual Special Olympic torch run took over Woodstock Saturday. Runners left the Woodstock Police Headquarters and made their way with a police escort down to Boston Pizza. Coach Gary Farrington says this event is very important to the participants. "If it wasn't for this a lot of them would have nothing else to do throughout the season. It's very important for them to get that physical activity and they make new friends and they get to travel around and stuff like that, companionship so it's a big dividend all around for them." Local athlete Ryan Matez says he has been participating for ten years in curling, basketball and softball. "It's an opportunity for me to give back to Special Olympics." Matez says the run is something he looks forward to all year long. Last year the torch run raised three thousand dollars for the Woodstock Special Olympic sports programs. Farrington was hoping to raise a similar amount this year.
