How to Use United in Stride

Achilles International is expanding access to movement and connection through the addition of United in Stride.

United in Stride currently functions as an online matching platform for athletes who are blind or have low vision to volunteer guide runners in the U.S. As the program continues transitioning to Achilles over the next few months, the platform offerings will be expanded to all athletes with disabilities.
