The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Southern California has been involved in the planning and success of the Plane Pull since its inception in Southern California.
Interested in having a five year old participate in the kids’ plane pull. Do they have to pay the registration fee? What is the “CHANCE to pull a plane?”
Sorry for the delay. This is a new system, just learning how to use it. The Kids’ Pull is free. There will be plenty of chance to pull the kids plane. THANKS FOR THE COMMENT!
