Nutmeg State Games 2010         July 24th - August 1st

TORCH RUN
 

The Torch Run ONLY takes place when the Nutmeg Games moves to a new City and begins in the previous one.

2008
The Nutmeg State Games will make a running start into this summer’s Olympic events.  In 2006 and 2007, the "Games" brought back an old Olympic tradition by including a Torch Run that kicked off the Games on the day of Opening Ceremonies.  This years' Torch Run will begin with a brief ceremony, which will include the introduction of the runners. The Torch Run will begin in Bridgeport (previous Host City) and and end at Danbury High School Stadium where the opening ceremonies of the Games will be held. The Torch Run participants will take part in the Opening Ceremonies and the lighting of the Cauldron, officially announcing the start of the "Games"!

The Torch Run will be managed by the Nutmeg State Games, the Fairfield County Sports Commission and the Housatonic Valley Sports Organizing Committee.  All three organizations are a 501(C)(3) Not-For-Profit which strive to create a positive environment for athletes to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally.
