VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The District North Dakota Special Olympics State Summer Games was canceled earlier this week due to the excessive heat.

But, that didn’t stop Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch runner Brandon Stoddart who ran in his 9th run on Thursday, June 3rd along with a dozen more officers. Stoddart is a staff development officer for the James River Correctional Center.

On Thursday, June 3rd the Law Enforcement Torch Run leg from Jamestown to Valley City was completed in about six hours. The Torch normally continues its trek to Fargo for the District ND Special State Summer Olympics but this year it was canceled due to excessive heat.
