The Hall of Fame and Unsung Hero Awards were created as a way to recognize outstanding individuals who have significantly contributed to the Montana Torch Run.   Inductees for the Unsung Hero Award may be sponsors, volunteers or law enforcement.  The Hall of Fame Award will acknowledge those in law enforcement that have gone above and beyond in furthering the Torch Run.  If you know someone who has made a significant contribution to the success of the Montana Torch Run, please nominate them.  Inductees will be announced during the Montana Torch Run Kick-Off Banquet.
