Marshfield, WI (OnFocus) Local law enforcement rode bicycles from Marshfield to Wisconsin Rapids for the virtual Torch Run today in support of Special Olympics.
The officers and participants gathered at the Marshfield mall parking lot for a short ceremony at 9:45 a.m. before leaving at 10 a.m. They then traveled south on Central Ave. to 29th Street, turning east out of town.
