The relay, which included eastern and western legs that came together in Southfield, raised money and awareness for athletes who participate in Special Olympics Michigan.
"Michigan's Torch Run program had a record breaking year in 2012, raising over $1,000,000," according to its website.
During the eastern leg of the relay Friday, Clawson Police ran east on 14 Mile Road from Crooks to 14 Mile Road and Campbell for a hand-off with Troy Police.
The eastern and western relay legs were slated to come together in Southfield and wrap up with a pizza party at the city's Civic Center.
