Inclusive Strides: Running Beyond Barriers

Join us for an inspiring day of learning, action, and community as we explore how to make running accessible to everyone—no matter their physical or psychological challenges.

Running isn’t just a sport; it’s a freedom, a form of expression, and a way to connect with ourselves and others. But for many, running is out of reach—whether due to physical disabilities, psychological barriers, or the lack of proper equipment and support. At Inclusive Strides: Running Beyond Barriers, we’re changing that.

Event Highlights:

Keynote Speakers & Panels: Hear from athletes, advocates, and experts who are leading the charge to make running accessible for all. Learn about the latest advancements in adaptive sports technology, mental health in athletics, and the impact of inclusive fitness programs.
Workshops & Interactive Sessions: Gain hands-on knowledge about adaptive running equipment, strategies for overcoming psychological barriers to exercise, and how communities are coming together to support runners of all abilities.
Fundraising Events: Participate in running challenges and races that raise funds for research, development, and access to the right equipment for those with physical and psychological disabilities. Together, we’ll ensure that no one is left behind when it comes to the joy of running.
Networking Opportunities: Connect with a diverse community of runners, athletes, medical professionals, and advocates all working towards one goal—making running accessible for those who can’t do it on their own, yet.
Inspiring Stories: Celebrate the achievements of individuals who have overcome challenges to become athletes and advocates for inclusive sports. Hear their stories and find out how we can all contribute to making the world of running a more inclusive place.
