A reimagined adaptive obstacle course event for adults 14 and older with intellectual or physical disabilities. Push, pull, carry, and squirt your way through a course designed to celebrate the courage, inclusion, and achievement for participants with a disability. You’ll wind up at a dynamic finish line celebration with live music and fun with friends!
All participants are welcome to have an able-bodied “course buddy” accompany them free of charge if needed. There also are many volunteers along the course to encourage and help. All obstacles are optional and can be completed by participants who are ambulatory or using a wheelchair, walker, etc.
