Why Run with Us?
People join Achilles for many reasons and with many goals: to improve physical strength, to build confidence, or to pursue a goal; and all of our members and volunteers work hard to achieve them.
But something else happens at Achilles that few expect, but all cherish. It is the sense of friendship, encouragement, and community that people find with us. We have always believed that with support, nurturing, and training, people with disabilities can participate and succeed in mainstream sports.
Today, with members in over 18 countries, we are still an organization of communities. In training and racing together, athletes with disabilities, and those without them, learn to support each other and focus on what brings them together, rather than what might keep them apart.
