The county's two routes were among several law enforcement runs around New Jersey.
Warren County police officers converged in Washington, not in response to any criminal activity, but to uphold a tradition.
The annual Law Enforcement Torch Run on Friday, benefitting the Special Olympics New Jersey Summer Games, involved 3,000 officers running separate routes around the state.
In Warren County, two routes approached Washington in different directions on Route 57, one starting in Hackettstown and the other in Greenwich Township.
Warren Hills Regional High School student and Special Olympics athlete Ryan Carey rode in a Washington Township patrol car for the final leg of the southern route, police said.
Almost 2,500 athletes will compete in the summer games, which begin Friday and last the weekend at Trenton-area locations. Last year's torch run raised $600,000, according to a torch run committee report.
