Achilles NYC Metro

Run, walk, roll and volunteer with Achilles flagship chapter in parks across New York City! Find Achilles workout opportunities for volunteer guides and athletes of all ages throughout the week below. We offer specialized workouts for children with disabilities through our Achilles Kids program in Central Park, Prospect Park and Flushing Meadows Park. We also offer adaptive cycling sessions in select parks. Though specialized wheelchair racing practices are on pause, contact nyc@achillesinternational.org for more information on accessing a racing wheelchair at an existing adaptive cycling workout at one of Achilles’ other workout locations.

For more questions on joining or volunteering, please contact nyc@achillesinternational.org.
