Guided Run Challenge: Trust the Run 

Ready to experience running in a whole new way?

The Achilles Charlotte Guided Run Challenge is more than a race—it’s about trust, teamwork, and breaking barriers together.

Here’s the challenge:

 One runner is blindfolded

One runner is the guide

 Together, you move as ONE

Inspired by our visually impaired athletes, guided running is all about communication, connection, and trust every step of the way.

 Can you stay in sync?

 Can you communicate under pressure?

Can you run as ONE?

Top 3 guided teams win prizes—but everyone walks away with something bigger: purpose, perspective, and the true spirit of Achilles Charlotte.

Grab your partner. Lock in. Run as one.
