IM ABLE Games

IM ABLE Welcomes Adaptive Athletes to the IM ABLE Games! 

There are several ways to participate in the IM ABLE Games for adaptive athletes - all (except for the wing eating challenge) will include adaptive options to make this event accessible to all! 

Choose from the following:

• 2-mile fun run/walk/roll - this is just for fun; not competitive, so bring out your family and friends to join you!  Complete the 2-miles any way you would like - with the exception of cars, golf carts, & ATV's of course! Please note that we are able to offer this fun run at a very low cost, but t-shirts are not included in the registration fee. You have the option to purchase a shirt at cost (no markup) for $15 during the registration process.

• Sprint Duathlon - this sounds way more intimidating than it is, and is totally doable for most of you! This duathlon includes a 2-mile run/walk/roll (wheelchairs, pushrims, etc.), followed by 8 miles on a bike (handcycles, recumbents, etc.), followed by another 2-mile run/walk/roll. Includes race shirt.

• The Kaaginator Challenge - named after our Founder, Chris Kaag, the Kaaginator Challenge combines both running & functional workout stations, where participants run/walk/roll, followed by 1 functional workout station, repeated several times with different functional workout stations throughout the race.These workout stations are NOT complicated and don't involve anything like handstand push-ups, rope climbs, 1-rep max's, etc. You will most likely have done every single one of them at the gym! For each station, there will be modifications! You can do this!! Includes race shirt & exclusive Kaaginator headband!

• Wing Eating Competition - known for their famous wings, this competition is hosted by Klingers at the Airport. Unless you're allergic, anyone can compete in this event! Does not include race shirt. 

• The Trifecta - This event includes the Duathlon, the Kaaginator, and Wing Eating Competition! No better time to put on your cape and show everyone what an adaptive athlete can really do! Includes race shirt & exclusive Kaaginator headband!

• Volunteer! Not into racing or wings? Then, please consider volunteering! It takes a village to run an event like this with proceeds going to support IM ABLE adaptive athletes' programs, classes, and equipment grants. Includes IM ABLE Games volunteer t-shirt!

 

OTHER INFO

• All adaptive athletes register for free using the following discount code: IMABLE24. Use this code during the checkout section of your registration. 

• There will be adaptive options in the Kaaginator! For example, if burpees are included in the Kaaginator (hint: they are), you have a couple of options: you can cut down on the quantity or there will be a wheelchair accessible Ski Erg at that station. And if you need another alternative, you can do squats, deadlifts, etc. Volunteers will be at each station to assist with options and alternatives.

• Accessible parking will be located right at the entrance to the tarmac where registration/check-in will be; the duathlon transition, duathlon & 2-mile fun run start and finish; the Kaaginator Challenge course; and wings and beer!
